Batch EPS to PNG

I'm trying to use illustrator actions in order to convert a batch of EPS files to PNG

My PNG files needs to be maximum 4000x4000 while keeping aspect ratio but the actions only allow me to set a fixed size for the whole batch

Any workaround ?

Sorry to have missed you post.

Have you tried Photoshop >> File >> Scripts >> Image Processor to jpg, then a Photoshop action to make png.

Not sure why they don't have  a .png option to that script, it is a popular format not outdated like .eps.

That wouldn't work because JPG wouldn't save transparency so my PNG would have opaque white background.

I can easily make a batch script to export to PNG, but the biggest obstacle i'm facing right now is to set the correct size. I need highest possible resolution, but always stay under 4000x4000 aspect ratio.

So if i have a 1000x2000 vector, then it would need to output a 2000x4000 PNG ... All files have different sizes and aspect ratio, so i can't just use a script with hardcoded resolution output... It may need some javascript involved ?
