Free Online CSS Text Shadow Tool

1. Drag the horizontal and vertical offset sliders.
2. Adjust the blur radius for a soft or crisp shadow.
3. Pick a shadow color with the color input.
4. Watch the sample text update, then copy the text-shadow CSS.

The CSS text-shadow property, defined in the CSS Text Decoration Module, paints a shadow behind the glyphs of text. Its value is four parts: a horizontal offset, a vertical offset, an optional blur radius, and a color. Positive offsets push the shadow right and down; a larger blur softens it.

This builder maps each part to a slider and a color picker, then assembles the declaration and renders it on a sample headline so you can judge the effect immediately. Setting both offsets to zero with a bright color and generous blur creates a glow; small offsets with a dark, low-blur color give a crisp drop shadow that lifts text off a busy background and aids readability.

Text-shadow is purely decorative and widely supported, so it is safe to use on headings, logos and call-outs. You can layer multiple shadows by comma-separating values in your CSS for richer effects. Everything is computed in your browser and copies in one click.
