Text Shadow Generator
Build CSS text-shadow effects visually. Control X offset, Y offset, blur radius, and color with live preview. Add multiple shadow layers for glowing and neon effects.
CSS text-shadow takes offset-x, offset-y, blur-radius, and color. Unlike box-shadow, there is no spread radius. Multiple shadows are comma-separated, enabling layered effects like neon glow (0 0 10px cyan, 0 0 30px cyan) or hard embossed text.
text-shadow: 2px 2px 4px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.30);
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I add multiple text shadows?
Yes. Add as many shadow layers as you need — CSS text-shadow accepts a comma-separated list of shadow values.
How do I create a neon glow effect?
Use a bright color with a large blur radius and no offset. Add 2-3 layers with increasing blur for a realistic neon glow.
Does text-shadow work on all browsers?
Yes. CSS text-shadow is supported in all modern browsers and has been since IE10. It's safe to use without any vendor prefixes.
What is the difference between text-shadow and box-shadow?
text-shadow applies to the text glyphs themselves. box-shadow applies to the element's box. text-shadow does not support an inset or spread-radius parameter — it only has x-offset, y-offset, blur, and color.
