The text-shadow CSS property adds shadows to text, enabling effects from subtle depth to dramatic glow. Like box-shadow, it accepts horizontal offset, vertical offset, blur radius, and color — but without spread or inset options. Multiple text shadows can be layered for complex effects like 3D text, neon glow, embossed letters, and retro outlines. Text shadows are purely decorative and do not affect the element layout or text flow.
FAQ
Does text-shadow affect accessibility?
Text shadows can improve or reduce readability depending on implementation. A subtle shadow that increases contrast with the background is helpful. Heavy or colorful shadows that compete with the text color reduce readability.
