How to use Text Shadow Generator

  1. Type your sample text and choose the text and background colors for the preview.
  2. Add shadow layers and adjust each layer's X, Y, blur, color and alpha.
  3. Or click a preset — neon, 3D, outline, retro or fire — to load a ready-made layer set.
  4. Click Copy CSS to grab the comma-separated text-shadow declaration.

What is Text Shadow Generator?

The CSS text-shadow property adds one or more shadows behind text, each defined by an X offset, a Y offset, a blur radius and a color. By stacking several comma-separated shadows you can build glows, hard 3D extrusions, outlines and other effects from a single declaration.

This generator gives every shadow its own layer with full control over offsets, blur and color alpha, plus one-click presets for neon glow, long 3D shadow, outline, retro and fire. Pick your text and background colors to preview the effect in context, then copy the final text-shadow CSS.

FAQ

How do I stack multiple text shadows?
Separate each shadow with a comma inside a single text-shadow declaration, for example text-shadow: 1px 1px 0 #000, 2px 2px 0 #555. The browser paints them in order, so earlier shadows sit on top. This tool builds that comma-separated list for you as you add layers.
Can I create a glowing neon effect?
Yes. A neon glow is several blurred shadows of the same bright color with no offset, stacked from a tight inner glow to a wide outer halo. Use the Neon glow preset as a starting point, then tweak the blur and colors to taste.
Is text-shadow supported everywhere?
Yes. text-shadow is supported in every modern browser without any vendor prefix, including multi-layer comma-separated shadows.
