Text Shadow

CSS Text Shadow

Text is given shadow with the text-shadow property.

The only shadows you provide when using it in its most basic form are the vertical (2px) and horizontal (2px) shadows:

				
					h1 {
  text-shadow: 2px 2px;
}

Next, add a color (red) to the shadow:

				
					h1 {
  text-shadow: 2px 2px red;
}

Then, add a blur effect (5px) to the shadow:

				
					h1 {
  text-shadow: 2px 2px 5px red;
}

Text-shadow on a white text:

				
					h1 {
  color: white;
  text-shadow: 2px 2px 4px #000000;
}

Text-shadow with red neon glow:

				
					h1 {
  text-shadow: 0 0 3px #ff0000;
}

Text-shadow with red and blue neon glow:

				
					h1 {
  text-shadow: 0 0 3px #ff0000, 0 0 5px #0000ff;
}

				
					h1 {
  color: white;
  text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px black, 0 0 25px blue, 0 0 5px darkblue;
}
