I convert the first page of garage.pdf to gif and png, and compare the results. The gif quality is rough, especially on the text, but png quality is good.
To compare, I also tried to convert the same pdf file to gif with PDF-XChange Viewer, the quality is also good. So I believe gif is able to display high quality text.
How do I improve text quality in gif?
For testing, this is MWE in Latex.
