Text shadow effects
Add drop, line, block, or detailed 3D shadows to text, then adjust color, offset, angle, and blur in the right panel.
Kittl offers four types of text shadows:
Drop – a soft, offset shadow for subtle depth
Line – a sharp, outlined shadow for a graphic style
Block – a bold, solid shadow that adds strong contrast
Detailed 3D – a layered shadow that gives a three-dimensional effect
Apply a Text Shadow
Select any text on your artboard. The settings panel on the right will open automatically.
In the right panel, click Text Shadow to open the effects library.
Choose a shadow style from the available options to apply it to your text.
Adjust Shadow Settings
Click the color swatch to change the effect color.
Use the Offset, Angle, and Blur sliders to fine-tune the look of your shadow.
Remove a Shadow
To remove the effect, click the minus (–) icon next to Text Shadow. This will remove the shadow and collapse the section.
Tips
Shadows work best on bold and large text for maximum visibility.
Combine different colors, angles, and blur levels to create unique effects.
The Detailed 3D shadow adds extra depth—try it for titles or standout elements.
