FAQ

Is the text shadow generator free to use?
Yes, it is completely free. No registration is required—just open it in your browser and start using it.
Can I stack multiple shadows?
Yes. Use the "Add layer" button to stack as many shadows as you like. Each layer has its own offset, color and opacity, and they are output as a comma-separated CSS value. Neon and outline effects are built from multiple layers.
What is the difference from box-shadow?
text-shadow applies a shadow to the text itself, while box-shadow applies it to the element box. text-shadow has no spread or inset—only X offset, Y offset, blur and color.
Is my data sent to a server?
No. All processing happens locally in your browser; nothing is ever sent to or stored on a server.
Can I set transparency (alpha) on the shadow color?
Yes. The opacity slider lets you set 0–100%, and the output is automatically written as an rgba() value with the alpha included, making soft, natural shadows easy.
