Box Shadow Generator — Visual CSS box-shadow Tool

Box Shadow Generator — Design CSS Shadows Visually

Create perfect CSS box-shadow effects with a live visual editor. Drag sliders to control offset, blur, spread, and color, stack multiple shadow layers for depth, toggle inset shadows, and copy the ready-to-use CSS. No more guessing pixel values.

The four box-shadow values

• Offset X: horizontal distance — positive moves the shadow right, negative left
• Offset Y: vertical distance — positive moves it down, negative up
• Blur: how soft the shadow edge is (0 = sharp, high = very soft)
• Spread: grows (positive) or shrinks (negative) the shadow size

Features

• Live preview: see the shadow on a sample element instantly
• Color + opacity: pick any color and fine-tune transparency
• Inset shadows: create inner shadows for pressed or recessed effects
• Multiple layers: stack several shadows for realistic, layered depth
• Clean CSS output: copy a single property ready to paste

Tips for realistic shadows

• Real shadows are usually soft — use a generous blur and low opacity (10–25%)
• Layer two or three shadows (a tight dark one + a wide soft one) for natural depth
• Keep the light direction consistent across your whole interface
• Subtle is better — heavy shadows look dated
