Complete Guide to Text Shadow Generator
What is Text Shadow?
Text shadow is a CSS property that adds shadow effects to text. It can add depth to text-based elements like headings, banners, and logos to grab attention. Adjust offset-x, offset-y, blur, and color options to create your desired shadow effect.
Property Explanations
• Offset X: Horizontal shadow position. Positive for right, negative for left. • Offset Y: Vertical shadow position. Positive for down, negative for up. • Blur: Shadow blur radius. 0 is sharp, larger values are more blurred. • Color: Shadow color. Supports HEX, RGBA formats.
How to Use
Step 1: Select a popular preset or configure manually in the custom tab. Step 2: Enter preview text to see how it will look on actual text. Step 3: Adjust offset, blur, color, and opacity for each layer. Step 4: Add more layers to create complex shadow effects if needed. Step 5: Preview the result and copy the CSS code to apply to your project.
