Frequently asked questions

Can I add multiple text shadows?
This generator focuses on a single shadow for clarity — combine multiple manually by separating them with commas in the output.
Why does my shadow look fuzzy?
Increase blur for a softer effect or decrease for a sharp edge. Pair tiny offsets with low blur for crisp letterpress effects.
Is text-shadow widely supported?
Yes — text-shadow has near-universal browser support since 2010.
