Someone made an awesome program so you don't have to follow all these steps!

Anyways, here's the older method

Using this program! (Click here)

credit to @CardZlol for some of these tips

1

Only use images with 1 color.
Images with 2 colors can be used by filling in the "background" option.

2

Set Number of bits per color to the smallest amount, and disable underlines and dashes.

Since this kind of acts like lossy compression, sometimes it can make multi-color images single-color.

3

Remove all color tags, like <#000> or <#FFF>. This will make the text paintable, and will remove glitchy colors.
Alternatively, it is possible to replace the color tags with functional ones, which use the colors in the craft's paint palette. Example

You can press Ctrl+f to find text easier

4

Use "Anita Semi Square" font
Don't use "Military" font as the site says.

5

Set the width & height of the text label to appropriate measures. It should be the width and height of the image divided by 10 if you use the default pixel size, although more might be necessary.

6

You can adjust "mspace" and "lineheight" values to adjust the image. Default values are 1.

And if you need color there's a slightly different method

There's a mistake with the color codes in the color palette, I accidentally swapped red and green.
Also, it may be better to change size rather than mspace and line-height.

    You can also select a background colour in the website by inputting its hex code. This will cut down character count by several times and means you can make higher quality images

    @Souperplane well, I tested to copy it in other place it did copy all. In Juno label it's cut and I tried to type a single word it doesn't appear. I wonder how some people actually pass

    Example: This Craft that gives well known images using labels

    Try copying then pasting the text from the labels into the same labels, if it's not cut then it is my device

    @FunnyGuyexe4 I think the issue might be your device not copying all the characters when copying and pasting.

    @Souperplane I understand that, I took an existing craft that bypass character limit and it does lag because there's a lot of those "hi-res" labels. So having one or two should not be a big problem

    @FunnyGuyexe4 I'm not aware of any solution to this. But also consider that large amounts of characters will impact the performance of devices with weaker gpus, like many mobile devices.

    @Souperplane of course I know that, however the entire text input got capped, and I'm trying to find a way to bypass that

    Perhaps the capping only works when I input the text in-game (e.g. part property, xml editing)

    I guess I can try edit the label's property via a third party xml editor

    @FunnyGuyexe4 a label may have its width and height extended via hidden properties

    @Souperplane I downloaded someone else's craft with a really high resolution label image without hollow space fr, it is a whole American flag, the other one is esa logo looking so smooth

    I retype their text on a new label and ended up cropped

    @FunnyGuyexe4 a high res image can be used if it has a lot of empty space, like a hollow circle for example

    Hi, I discovered some trouble, for context I'm using mobile platforms of Juno.

    I tried using a higher resolution image with higher resolution output, and results shows cropped image.
    I found out I can't type any more characters on the labels after quite a lot I copied from the generated image to text for Juno.
    I saw some other people made many with high resolution label image on their craft, I copied the label and copied it's text, I pasted it into the label that the high resolution image is in, and it is cropped and like before I can't type more on.

    Do you know how to surpass this character limits on labels? I wonder how people do that. Is character limits in labels only exist for mobile or something I do not understand

    @CardZlol the newer program is tough to understand, and when my device translates it, it takes too long
