We are using

pstoimg -type png -aaliastext -flip r90 -density 150 file1.ps file2.ps ...

-crop is another useful parameter

man pstoimg

NAME
pstoimg - Convert a PostScript file to a bitmap image
using Ghostscript and the Netpbm utilities

DESCRIPTION
pstoimg iterates over the given input files and runs them
through Ghostscipt. The resulting pnm (portable anymap
files) are processed with different Netpbm tools (crop-
ping, color mapping, aligning, ...) and finally converted
into (currently) either GIF or PNG format. The bitmaps can
now be included e.g. in WWW pages.

The PostScript file is converted as is. If a valid bound-
ing box is found (EPS format), then only this area is con-
verted. The image is not cropped by default.

....

cheers
