Text Shadow
text-shadow: 2px 2px 4px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
Common questions about the CSS Text Shadow Generator.
text-shadow: offset-x offset-y blur-radius color. For example: text-shadow: 2px 2px 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.3). You can stack multiple shadows separated by commas for complex effects like neon glows, 3D text, or outline effects.
Stack multiple text-shadows with increasing blur and a bright color: text-shadow: 0 0 5px #fff, 0 0 10px #0ff, 0 0 20px #0ff, 0 0 40px #0ff. Use a dark background for contrast. This tool generates neon and other text-shadow effects visually.
Yes — use four shadows at 1px offsets in each direction: text-shadow: -1px -1px 0 #000, 1px -1px 0 #000, -1px 1px 0 #000, 1px 1px 0 #000. For smoother outlines, the -webkit-text-stroke property (supported in all modern browsers) is a cleaner solution.
Simple text-shadows have minimal performance impact. However, large blur radii and multiple stacked shadows (especially on large text or many elements) can affect rendering performance. Avoid animating text-shadow — animate opacity on a duplicate element instead for smooth effects.
