I guess my question is both....

If I have like 50 photos that are in .eps how can I do a bulk file format
change without opening each one? I know in previous versions of mac os you
could do this in finder but no longer with Ventura which is frustrating

Yes,  Apple has dropped support for EPS, which is the reason that this thread even exists.

So you cannot do the conversion with Apple tools.

Probably the batch that Jolien posted would be an idea. In Illustrator you set up a batch  as well.

Are you sure you used this path:

/System/Library/QuickLook

?

Fix: Missing Icon Preview for EPS files in macOS Monterey

Edit the Info.plist File

  1. Go to the following directory
    /System/Library/QuickLook
  2. Copy the “Illustrator.qlgenerator” file. Paste it on the Desktop.
  3. You have to now right-click on this Illustrator.qlgenerator file. Choose Show package contents.
  4. Go to the “Info.plist” file present in the “Contents” folder by using a text editor.
  5. Search for the below line in that file:
    <string>com.adobe.illustrator.ai-image</string>
  6. Add the below line next to the above line (ensure that both these lines have the same indentation).
    <string>com.adobe.encapsulated-postscript</string>
  7. Save this Info.plist” file. Copy the complete “Illustrator.qlgenerator” file. Type it in the below directory:
    /Library/QuickLook
  8. That’s it.
