Adjust text-shadow offsets, blur, and color, then copy the CSS.
The CSS Text Shadow Generator helps you adjust a text-shadow effect and inspect it on sample text. Set the horizontal and vertical offsets, blur radius, and color before copying the rule.
The text-shadow property describes the shadow's offsets, blur, and color. Offsets move it relative to the letters; blur softens the edge. A bright color with little offset and more blur can create a glow.
text-shadow: 2px 2px 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);This example places a semi-transparent shadow behind the text. Compare it against the actual background before using it to support readability.
CSS allows comma-separated shadow layers, but this interface does not show an add-layer control. Edit the copied text-shadow if you want multiple layers or a color value beyond the available picker.
A shadow does not guarantee readable text over every image or background. Keep the text itself legible, check contrast, and avoid a blur that obscures letter shapes. Test text-shadow with your actual font and target layout rather than relying only on the sample.
Try the Gradient Text Generator for colored text or the CSS Box Shadow Generator for element shadows.
