Styled text vs image: what's the difference?
Styling your text is not the same as taking a screenshot. ETeext produces real Unicode text — the letters just look different. A text image, on the other hand, is a picture: it looks the same but behaves nothing like text.
What a text image costs you
Turn your words into a picture and you lose almost everything that makes text useful. You can't select or copy it, you can't edit a typo, search engines and screen readers can't read it, and it pixelates when zoomed. It's also heavier to load than a line of text.
Why real Unicode text wins
ETeext's styles are made of real characters, so your text stays fully functional: it copies and pastes anywhere, remains editable, gets indexed by Google, is read aloud by screen readers, and weighs almost nothing. You get the look of a fancy font with all the powers of plain text.

Frequently asked questions
Why not just paste an image of stylish text?
Because an image can't be selected, copied, edited or read by search engines and screen readers — and it blurs when zoomed. Unicode text keeps all of that.
Is the styled text still selectable and editable?
Yes. It’s plain characters, so you can select, copy, edit and re-paste it like any other text.
Is it good for SEO and accessibility?
Yes — real text is indexed by search engines and read by screen readers, unlike an image (which needs alt text at best).
