The problem
Retro titles look easy until you try one. A free tool saves your text on a white box. A design program hides the hard shadow behind a chain of steps. And a plain drop shadow just looks blurry.
What’s inside
- Eight styles: hard shadow, stacked 3D edge, outlined sticker, rainbow fill, chrome, sunset, neon sign and wiggle
- Copy-and-paste CSS for each one, shown next to a live example
- The four settings that change any style: offset, blur, color pair and restraint
- A short checklist before you publish, including contrast and reduced motion
Who this is for
Anyone with a personal site, a club page or a small project who can paste a few lines of CSS and wants a loud, glossy headline.
When you need a title as a picture or a vector file instead of CSS, there’s Flashtype: a free text-effects studio that runs in your browser, works offline and keeps your work on your device. Pick a preset, shape the shadow, then export SVG, a transparent PNG or CSS.
