Pop Your Typography with Text Shadow Generator
Typography on the web doesn't have to be flat. The **Text Shadow Generator** at **Online Tool Base** empowers you to transform standard fonts into eye-catching graphic elements. The `text-shadow` property in CSS is surprisingly powerful, allowing for everything from subtle legibility boosts to retro 3D lettering and neon signs.
Why Use Text Shadows?
Unlike box shadows, text shadows follow the contours of the font glyphs perfectly via the alpha channel. This tool gives you control over the light direction and diffusion. Designers use text shadows to:
- Improve Contrast: A slight shadow helps white text pop against busy image backgrounds.
- Create Depth: 'Letterpress' or 'Embossed' effects using highlight and shadow pairs.
- Retro Aesthetics: Heavy, colorful block shadows are a hallmark of synthwave and brutalist web design.
Key Features
- Stacking Support: Combine multiple shadows for outlines or 3D extrusions.
- Blur Radius: Determine if the shadow is sharp (comic style) or diffuse (glow).
- Color Control: Create multi-colored rainbow text effects.
- Real-Time Preview: See changes instantly on custom text.
How to Use
- Type your preview text.
- Adjust Horizontal and Vertical offsets.
- Tweak the blur radius for softness.
- Add more layers for complex effects like fire or neon.
