I have picked "ImageMagick" since it is in the first reply and I am really happy
with the outcome. It actually converts files between several format with .html
included which is very useful to me. I didn't have time to try webify, but looks like
it's also a good one to have. Oh, in order to make ImageMagick works, you have to
have "ghostscript" installed first.
