openscad.com -o image_1.png ../file.scad --render --colorscheme=Custom
--camera=22,-8,-14,53,0,28,750 --imgsize=1024,1024

That command works OK for me for a couple of simple models.

Can you give an example of an image that you're not satisfied with, and
maybe the model it came from?

Generally if you're making a PNG I wouldn't expect you to use --render,
because that loses any color that you've specified in the model.

I export with --imgsize=4096,4096 and then trim and resize it with Image
magick to get an antialiased image.

I also generate double sized images and then scale them down for antialiasing. I use the Python package openscad_runner to automate this when generating documentation from openscad_docsgen.
