Good to know
A typical phone photo today is 3000–4000 pixels wide and 2–6 MB in size, far more than WhatsApp, websites or government forms need. Most screens show images at 1000–2000 pixels wide, so reducing size rarely makes a visible difference. Knowing this helps you get better results from Add Text to Image: choose the right format for the job, keep the original file as a backup, and only make images as large as the place where they will be shown.
