About this tool

Design text-shadow visually

Add depth, a glow or a drop shadow to text. Set the horizontal and vertical offset, the blur and the color — the preview updates live and the CSS copies in one click.

Common effects

  • Subtle depth — small offset (1–2px), small blur, a dark semi-transparent color.
  • Glow — zero offset, larger blur, a bright color matching the text.
  • Readability on images — a soft dark shadow keeps light text legible over photos.
