I dont know of any free ones. Lots of products do it like
http://www.websupergoo.com/abcdrawhtml-1.htm but its at a cost.

If you can't covert it to work from a web app, you have to determine if you
can run it as a windowless (hidden window) executable and either pinvoke it,
or pass it work as a service if possible. The problem you have is that any
kind of screen capture requires a screen to capture from, and you wont have
one in a web app.

Another read, might help you more:

Throw some searches for webpage and Gif and see what comes back
