When I create images for the web using COREL Photopaint, the text goes all fuzzy when I export the image to a gif or jpeg.

The fuzzy outline looks really unprofressional. Is there a way to crispen up the text images, so that it can be more clear?

Not sure why no-one has replied to your question. It sounds as though you are new to bitmap formats, otherwise you would realise that resolution is key when producing images for the web, and text always suffers in the change from vector to bitmap (gif and jpeg). If you export/publish for web, images are usually 'downsampled' to reduce their resolution, and therefore the file size. If you have to have text over your images, you would be much better off using software for web design, where you can overlay text without incorporating it in the image.

 
JPGs should never be used except for photos - try using GIF instead. But it would help if you gave a URL so we could see exactly what you're referring to as there may be other issues with your images.
