What Does text-shadow Control?

The text-shadow property adds a shadow directly to text characters, controlled by horizontal/vertical offset, blur radius, and color - commonly used for subtle depth or a readable overlay effect on images.

Why Use This Tool?

Text shadows are easy to overdo - a live preview on real, readable text (rather than imagining the effect) makes it obvious when a shadow has gotten too heavy or blurry.

How to Use It

Adjust horizontal offset, vertical offset, and blur.
Pick a shadow color and opacity.
Copy the generated CSS.

Limitations

Like box-shadow, CSS supports comma-separated multiple text shadows on one element - this tool generates a single shadow layer, which you can combine manually for a multi-layer effect.
