Text on an image should help people understand the visual faster, not force them to work around it. Contrast and placement matter more than decorative effects.
Start with the outcome you need
Keep text away from the main subject and from busy image areas. A quieter patch of background makes even simple type easier to read.
Make the important choice before exporting
Use a size that remains readable on the smallest screen where the image will appear. Thumbnail-sized text should be tested as a thumbnail.

The best result comes from matching the tool to the real job rather than applying the strongest setting by default. Keep an original file, make a separate download for the destination, and review it at the size people will actually see.
ImageDock processes this workflow in the browser. That makes it practical for quick, focused work, while still leaving you in control of the file you choose to download and share.
