About CSS Text Shadow Generator
OptiPix CSS Text Shadow Generator lets you design text shadows visually with sliders for horizontal offset, vertical offset, blur radius, shadow color with opacity, text color, background color, font size, and font family. Add up to 5 independent shadow layers for complex effects. Choose from 8 creative presets: Drop Shadow, Hard Shadow, Neon Glow, Retro 3D, Emboss, Fire Text, Outline (4-directional), and Long Shadow. Preview your text with shadows updating instantly. Copy the generated CSS text-shadow value or the full snippet including color. Everything runs locally in your browser.
How It Works
The tool constructs CSS text-shadow strings from the slider values. Each shadow layer is formatted as 'offsetX offsetY blur rgba(r,g,b,a)'. Multiple layers are joined with commas into a single text-shadow value. The preview applies the CSS inline for instant feedback.
