Adam Reichold proposed the following answer:
Hello Philipp,

the resolution of the copy image to clipboard operation is determined by
the scale factor and the resolution of the monitor, i.e. the image will
be rendered at the same resolution as the displayed image. And only way
to increase that is to increase the scale factor, but obviously the
resulting image will be limited to the size of the monitor in pixel.

If you need a really high-resolution image version of a page from a PDF
document, I would suggest to use one of the Poppler command line
utilities, e.g. pdftocairo or pdftoppm to render a single page at a
given resolution and crop the resulting image.

Best regards, Adam.
