Use a variant of text extraction that delivers on line level together with position information.
Then make a pixmap of the line boundary box to output as png:

for block in page.get_text("dict", flags=fitz.TEXTFLAGS_TEXT)["blocks"]:
    for line in block["lines"]:
        bbox = line["bbox"]  # the line bbox
        text = " ".join([span["text"] for span in line["spans"]])  # text in line
        pix = page.get_pixmap(clip=bbox)  # pixmap of line bbox
        pix.save(...)

I can save to png, but the text in png is very small, how to enlarge to a height of 32pixels etc.?

[JorjMcKie]

use the dpi parameter or the matrix parameter of the get_pixmap() method.

[nissansz]

        pix = page.get_pixmap(clip=bbox, dpi=300)  # pixmap of line bbox

It works.
