Applying a shadow to text is one of the oldest techniques in graphic design. It separates the typography from the background, creating depth and improving readability. In CSS, we accomplish this using the text-shadow property.
Unlike standard box shadows, a text shadow traces the exact vector shape of the font's glyphs. You can configure the X and Y offset, the blur radius, and the color. Because tuning these values in code requires a lot of back-and-forth browser refreshing, our visual generator speeds up your workflow significantly. You can read the full technical specification on the MDN Web Docs.

The text-shadow property applies a shadow specifically to the shape of the individual letters and characters inside that container.
