/* CSS will appear here */CSS Text Effect Generator is a free online tool that lets you create stunning visual text effects using pure CSS. Choose from neon glow, 3D depth, glitch distortion, smooth gradients, elegant reflections, and more. Each effect is generated with clean, copy-paste ready CSS code that you can use in your web projects immediately. No external libraries or images required — everything is pure CSS.
All effects use standard CSS properties supported by modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge). Some advanced effects like 3D transforms and text-stroke may not work in older browsers (IE), but they degrade gracefully.
Yes! The CSS code generated is free to use in both personal and commercial projects without any attribution required.
Select a font from the dropdown or type your own font family name. Make sure the font is loaded on your page (e.g., via Google Fonts or @font-face).
Neon effects use multiple text-shadow layers. The appearance depends on the background color — dark backgrounds make neon glow pop. Make sure your page background matches the preview background for best results.
