What practice is recommended regarding images of text (7E)?

• A. Text is used instead of an image of text, where possible.
• B. Images of text should be used for branding.
• C. Text should be avoided entirely.
• D. Decorative text images should be used for emphasis.

Answer: (A)

Using actual text instead of embedding text in an image ensures content is accessible and adaptable. When text is part of an image, screen readers can’t read it, users can’t resize or reflow the text, and it can’t be searched, copied, or translated. Images can also fail to load or appear blurry on different screens, making the content harder to understand. Presenting text as real text keeps information perceivable, searchable, and usable across devices and for people with disabilities. Reserve images of text only for cases where the visual treatment is essential (like a branding element), and otherwise prefer real text to meet accessibility and usability needs.
