CSS Text Shadow Generator

Pick a preset or drag the sliders to shape a text shadow and watch the live preview react instantly. Stack several layers, fine-tune every offset, blur, colour and opacity, then copy production-ready CSS. Everything runs in your browser.

How it works

        

        

            

                Each layer is written as offset-x offset-y blur-radius color, then layers are
                joined with commas — standard CSS text-shadow syntax. Unlike
                box-shadow, text shadows have no spread or inset, and a negative blur is
                invalid, so blur is clamped to zero. Nothing is sent to a server; the optional share link
                encodes the layers in the URL fragment, which stays in the browser.
