Text Shadow Generator 🔤

About the Text Shadow Generator

The Text Shadow Generator runs entirely in your browser. Add multiple text-shadow layers, each with its own X/Y offsets, blur radius, and color — the preview updates in real time and the generated CSS is ready to copy. Layers render top-to-bottom, so the topmost layer in the list is drawn first (and ends up behind the others). Nothing is uploaded — everything happens locally.

Text-shadow properties

• X offset — Horizontal offset in pixels. Positive moves the shadow right, negative left.
• Y offset — Vertical offset in pixels. Positive moves the shadow down, negative up.
• Blur — Blur radius in pixels. 0 is sharp; larger values are softer.
• Color — The shadow color, in HEX or any CSS color format.

How to use the generator

1. Click + Add Layer to add a new text-shadow layer.
2. Edit the X, Y, blur, and color for each layer. Click the color swatch to change color.
3. Toggle the preview background between light and dark to see how the shadow looks.
4. Use the up/down arrows on each layer to reorder, or × to remove it.
5. Click Copy CSS to copy the final text-shadow declaration.

Frequently asked questions

How are multiple shadows combined? CSS supports comma-separated text-shadow values. The first listed shadow renders on top, so reordering layers in the list changes which one appears in front.

Can I create neon or glow effects? Yes. Use several layers with low blur and bright colors at the same offset to build a glow effect.

What's the difference between text-shadow and box-shadow? text-shadow applies only to the glyph shapes of text; box-shadow applies to the entire element box. They share similar syntax.

Does this tool upload my settings? No. Everything runs locally in your browser.
