You can convert your PostScript file to an EPS file with the utility 'ps2eps', 
which I found here: 
http://www.telematik.informatik.uni-karlsruhe.de/~bless/ps2eps.html

 ps2eps image.ps

creates image.eps (does cropping)

Then convert the eps-file with the 'convert' program from (I believe) the 
ImageMagick tools (I use PNG in the example, but it probably does GIFs as 
well). 
 convert image.eps image.png

This works for me.
