Drop shadows can help text stand out on custom sticker, label, decal, and product designs. Use the drop shadow tool to add dimension behind selected text and improve readability when your layout needs a little more contrast.
How to Add a Drop Shadow
- Select the text you want to edit.
- In the text editing toolbar, choose Drop Shadow.
- Toggle the effect on, then adjust the settings to control how the shadow looks.
Customizing the Effect
- Offset: Move the shadow closer to or farther from your text.
- Blur: Make the shadow edges sharper or softer.
- Color: Choose a shadow color that adds contrast without making the design harder to read.
When to Use a Drop Shadow
Drop shadows work best for larger text, headings, logos, and display elements that need to stand out from the background. Keep the effect subtle so your design still looks clean when it is printed.
