Box Shadow Generator

Generate custom CSS drop-shadow parameters and grab codes.

How to Use Box Shadow Generator

  1. Drag the horizontal offset, vertical offset, blur, and spread sliders to shape the shadow.
  2. Pick a shadow color and adjust its opacity slider.
  3. Toggle "Inset Shadow" if you want an inner shadow instead of a drop shadow.
  4. Copy the generated `box-shadow` CSS value from the output.

Key Features & Practical Use Cases

  • Adjusting X/Y offsets, blur radiuses, and spread parameters visually to create perfect CSS drop shadows.
  • Generating inset shadow codes for pressed button states or neumorphic UI designs.
  • Copying complex multi-layered shadow arrays directly into Tailwind config or CSS classes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between blur and spread?

Blur softens/fades the shadow's edges outward; spread expands or contracts the shadow's size before blurring is applied - try both to see the visual difference live.

Can I preview the shadow on a realistic UI element?

Yes, the live preview panel shows your shadow applied to a sample card so you can judge it in context before copying the code.

Does it support multiple stacked shadows?

This tool generates one shadow layer at a time; for multiple stacked shadows, generate each one and combine the comma-separated values manually in your CSS.
