Frequently Asked Questions

What is CSS text-shadow?

The CSS text-shadow property adds shadow effects to text. Each shadow is defined by X and Y offsets, an optional blur radius, and a color.

Can I add multiple text shadows?

Yes. CSS supports comma-separated shadows. This tool lets you add, remove and individually configure as many shadow layers as you need.

What are good use cases for text shadows?

Text shadows are used for glow effects, neon signs, embossed or letterpress text, 3D depth, fire text, and improving readability over background images.

Does text-shadow affect performance?

Simple text shadows have minimal impact. Very large blur radii or many layered shadows on large amounts of text can affect rendering performance on lower-end devices.
