Common Use Cases

- Adding a subtle depth effect to headings or buttons.
- Creating a glow effect by using a bright color with a large blur radius.
FAQs
Can I stack multiple text shadows?
Yes — text-shadow accepts a comma-separated list of shadow definitions, which is how effects like a solid outline or neon glow are typically built. This generator produces one shadow layer at a time, which you can duplicate and combine manually.
How do I make a glow effect instead of a drop shadow?
Set offset-x and offset-y both to 0 and increase the blur radius with a bright or saturated color — this spreads the shadow evenly around the text instead of offsetting it.
Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No — the CSS is generated and previewed entirely client-side in your browser.
