How to make Text Shadow in ios

Use attributedString

Code

 UILabel * Label = [[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(100, 100, 200, 60)]; [self.view addSubview:Label]; NSMutableAttributedString * mutableAttriStr = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@"Wenchen"]; NSShadow * shadow = [[NSShadow alloc] init]; shadow.shadowColor = [UIColor blueColor]; shadow.shadowBlurRadius = 2.0; shadow.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(1.0, 1.0); NSDictionary * attris = @{NSShadowAttributeName:shadow}; [mutableAttriStr setAttributes:attris range:NSMakeRange(0,mutableAttriStr.length)]; Label.attributedText = mutableAttriStr; 

UILabel *lbl = [[UILabel alloc]init]; lbl.frame = CGRectMake(0,0,150,50); lbl.text = @"Hello World!"; lbl.layer.shadowOpacity = 0.8; lbl.layer.shadowColor = [UIColor blackColor].CGColor; lbl.layer.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0.5, 1.0); 

UILabel *label = [[UILabel alloc]init]; label.frame = CGRectMake(0,0,150,50); label.text = @"Hello World!"; label.layer.shadowColor = [label.textColor CGColor]; label.layer.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0.0, 0.0); 

Import and play with some parameters:

label.layer.shadowRadius = 3.0; label.layer.shadowOpacity = 0.5 label.layer.masksToBounds = NO; 

testLabel.shadowColor = [UIColor blackColor]; testLabel.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0.0, -0.5);
