About This Tool

The CSS Text Shadow Generator lets you visually compose multi-layer text shadows and instantly get the CSS output. Each layer has independent X/Y offset, blur radius, color, and opacity controls.

Opacity is applied as an RGBA alpha channel, giving smooth transparency without browser-specific hacks. The generated CSS works in all modern browsers.
