What is the difference between box-shadow and text-shadow?

box-shadow applies to the entire element box (div, button, etc.), while text-shadow applies only to the text itself. The former supports inset and spread; the latter does not.

Can I stack multiple shadow layers?

Yes. CSS allows multiple shadow values separated by commas, with earlier layers appearing on top. This tool lets you add multiple layers and preview the stacking in real time.

What does inset do?

Adding inset makes the shadow appear inside the element rather than outside. It is commonly used for pressed button effects or inner highlights. text-shadow does not support this property.

What is a negative spread useful for?

A negative spread shrinks the shadow. Combined with a larger offset it creates a natural one-sided drop shadow effect.
