Text Shadow Generator

The CSS text-shadow property adds shadow effects to text. It accepts values for horizontal offset, vertical offset, blur radius, and color. You can apply multiple shadows by separating them with commas, creating complex effects like neon glows, 3D text, and embossed appearances.

Yes, CSS allows multiple text shadows on a single element by separating each shadow with a comma. This technique is used to create effects like neon glows (multiple colored blurred shadows), 3D/embossed text (stacked offset shadows), and fire effects (layered colored shadows). There is no hard limit on the number of shadows.

The syntax is: text-shadow: offset-x offset-y blur-radius color; For example: text-shadow: 2px 2px 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.5); The offset-x and offset-y are required, blur-radius defaults to 0, and color defaults to the current text color. Use commas to separate multiple shadows.

Simple text shadows have minimal performance impact. However, using many shadows with large blur radii on elements that frequently repaint (like during scrolling or animations) can impact rendering performance. For most static text with 1-3 shadows, performance is not a concern in modern browsers.

To create a neon glow, use multiple text-shadows with the same bright color at increasing blur radii. For example: text-shadow: 0 0 7px #fff, 0 0 10px #fff, 0 0 21px #fff, 0 0 42px #0fa, 0 0 82px #0fa; Combine this with a dark background and bright text color for the best neon effect.
