Don't. They're a bad and obsolete idea.

Instead learn some trivial CSS and keep the text of the button in the
HTML content, where it belongs (and not placed inaccessibly into a
bitmap image).

If you want a button with a picture, then use CSS to place it as a
background image on the button element and keep the text as text.

If you want an animated rollover button, then use some CSS with
the :hover pseudo-class to flip background images. Keep the text as
text. Don't use JavaScript either.

If you want buttons that look attractive, then find some ready-made
blank ones. You only need one set per site, not a vast list of them
for every menu choice.

If you want to make your own, then find a graphic editor (Photoshop,
PaintShop, Gimp) and make them. You do _not_ need any specialised
"button creator".
