Good Stencil alternative BUT...
Stencil is shutting down next month, so I’ve been searching for a solid affordable alternative and came across this platform. So far, it works great, and I’m really happy with it, BUT one feature seems to be missing: a text shadow effect, which is one of my favorite text styling options.
I might have overlooked it, but if it’s not currently available, I’d love to see a shadow effect added for text.

Thanks so much for the kind words and for giving BannerBoo a try — we really appreciate it! Sorry to hear about Stencil shutting down, but we’re glad BannerBoo is working well for you so far.
You’re right: at the moment, we don’t have a dedicated built-in text shadow effect in the editor.
As a workaround, you can create a simple shadow manually: duplicate the text layer, place the duplicated text behind the original one, make the lower text darker, and move it slightly down/right. This will give you a basic text shadow effect.
That said, we completely understand why this feature is useful, and we’ll do our best to add a proper native text shadow effect in a future update.
Thanks again for the feedback — it’s very helpful for us!
