What is Text Shadow?
text-shadow is a CSS3 property that adds shadow to text. It improves contrast and depth, commonly used for headings, buttons, and decorative typography effects.
How to Use
- Add or remove shadow layers, then set X/Y offsets and blur for each layer.
- Pick a shadow color per layer. Stacking layers creates richer glow and depth.
- Enter your preview text and adjust text color for better comparison.
- Copy the generated CSS and paste the text-shadow declaration into your stylesheet.
Syntax
text-shadow: h-shadow v-shadow blur-radius color- h-shadow: Required. Horizontal offset. Negative values are allowed.
- v-shadow: Required. Vertical offset. Negative values are allowed.
- blur-radius: Optional. Blur radius. Higher values look softer.
- color: Optional. Shadow color. Hex colors are commonly used.
FAQ
Does text-shadow affect performance?
A single shadow is usually cheap. Many layers or large text areas can increase paint cost, so use layered shadows in moderation.
How do I create a neon glow effect?
Stack multiple bright-colored shadows and gradually increase blur to simulate a glowing spread around the text.
Browser compatibility?
text-shadow is widely supported in modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge). It is not supported in legacy IE (IE9 and below).
