Frequently Asked Questions About CSS Text Shadow Generator
How do I add a text shadow in CSS?
Use the text-shadow property: horizontal offset, vertical offset, blur, then a color — for example text-shadow: 2px 2px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.4). This tool generates that line for you to copy.
How do I make a glow effect?
Use a 0px / 0px offset with a larger blur and a bright color. A second shadow with more blur intensifies the glow. Set the offsets to zero and raise the blur to preview it here.
How do I keep text readable over images?
A subtle dark shadow with some blur (for example 0–1px offset, 4–8px blur, dark color) adds contrast so light text stays legible on busy or bright backgrounds.
