3D Text CSS Generator

Need 3D text on a website instead of a PNG? This generator builds the same extrusion from stacked CSS text-shadows: set the depth, angle and colours, preview it live, and copy the CSS. The text stays real, selectable and searchable.

Depth: 8 layers
Angle: 45°

How the 3D Effect Works
The generator stacks many copies of your text, each shifted 1 step along the chosen angle and drawn in a darker shade. Depth sets how many layers; angle sets the direction.

Extrusion Angle Guide
The angle decides where the light seems to come from. 45° (down-right) is the most common, since light from the top left feels natural.
