Frequently Asked Questions
text-shadow applies specifically to the rendered glyphs of text, following their exact shape, while box-shadow applies to an element's rectangular box. text-shadow also has no spread parameter — it only accepts horizontal offset, vertical offset, blur radius, and color.
Yes — text-shadow accepts a comma-separated list of shadow definitions, letting you layer several shadows for effects like an outline look or a glowing halo. This tool generates a single shadow definition, which you can extend by hand with additional comma-separated values using the same format.
No — it is purely a visual effect and does not change the underlying text content, so screen readers and text selection work exactly as they would without it. Very heavy shadows can reduce legibility for some readers, so keep contrast with the background in mind.
