Export PNG with -ben-mode and scale down the picture to get smoothness.
This was DJ' answer to my question:

${WEB}/powermeter.jpg : powermeter.pcb
	pcb -x png --ben-mode --dpi 450 powermeter.pcb
	pngtopnm powermeter.png | pamscale 0.333333 | cjpeg -q 90 > ${WEB}/powermeter.jpg

For "actual size" use --dpi 300 instead (most monitors are 100 dpi)
