FAQ

Can CSS text-shadow have multiple layers?

Yes, like box-shadow, text-shadow accepts a comma-separated list of shadows, which this generator builds automatically as you add layers.

How do I make a 3D or emboss text effect?

Stack several small offset shadows in a consistent direction with slightly different shades, which is exactly what the extra layers here let you do.

Does text-shadow affect layout?

No, text-shadow is purely visual and does not change the text's box size or surrounding layout.
