Depending what you have and what is you preferences
you can do something like:

convert inputfile.ps -resize 1600x1200 outputfile.png
(That assumes you have imagemagic installed, see 'man convert' for more
details)

or
gs -sDEVICE=png256 -r600x600 -sOutputFile=filename.png  filename.ps

'gs -help' will give you list of other options you can use.

I also found lately that postscript or pdf will satisfy
most of my requirements. I do not like bitmapped formats
for plots.
To convert to pdf you can do ps2pdf.
