How to Add a Drop Shadow in Inkscape (Beginners Tutorial)

In this Inkscape tutorial, I show you how to add a drop shadow to text and objects using a built-in drop shadow filter. I also show you how versatile this tool can be by adding multiple drop shadow effects to a single object, plus non-destructively editing text and the drop shadow filter after applying the effect. This is a great way to enhance your vector graphics or designs!

Inkscape is a free scalable vector graphics editor most similar to Adobe Illustrator and Affinity Design.
