This site provides a tool that uses text input to generate a CSS bitmap using the box-shadow property, so the resulting text is not represented anywhere in the body of the HTML document.

For example, if you inspect this page, you'll notice the cursive-font title at the top does not have any backing text, image, canvas, svg, or other source!

I created this tool to help developers make it harder for AI to scrape web content without permission.

Painting the background sets every pixel, not just the font text. It may help with readability if your site supports multiple themes, but expect the CSS to be at least 2x larger.
