I don't think that can be done.  Eagle layers are inherently vector, while
the image files you mention are raster.

You only get 1 bit per pixel anyway, and pixel resolution would be rather
course.  That means you're not going to reproduce fancy graphics anyway.
Given that, the best bet is probably to reproduce the desired graphic in
Eagle using its high level primitives.

If you really have your mind set on doing this, you could write a program
that converts the image to 1 bit per pixel, then writes an Eagle script with
a bunch of rectangle commands.  Keep in mind that ink pressure probably
makes each white pixel bigger than the black ones.  The board house may also
refuse to do your board because this will waste a lot of time in
photoplotting.
