Wow, TIL about arxiv-vanity. On a first glance, it's awesome. Not saying that I particularly dislike PDF files, but it's still good to have choice. Already the ability to extract images from PDF files is incredibly valuable to me. I wasn't aware how to do it properly. Screenshots are limited at the display size and when you are zooming you don't know when upsampling algos of the PDF reader set in and PDF readers often have maximum zoom levels and if the actual resolution of the image is above that, you still won't get the full resolution. Now I can extract images at the full resolution via browser tools... I hope it's actually the full resolution, isn't it? It's kinda not what arxiv vanity was made for but still, thank you for that!

Extracting proper vector graphics is a work in progress: https://github.com/arxiv-vanity/engrafo/issues/247 https://github.com/arxiv-vanity/engrafo/issues/247 If you want to extract figures/images from PDFs, the best way to do it is to use Adobe Illustrator (or equivalent... Inkscape maybe?). That’ll let you extract full sized bitmapped graphics or arbitrary parts of the PDF as SVG vector images.
