What Box Shadow Generator does

Box Shadow Generator builds CSS box-shadow values through a visual editor — adjust horizontal and vertical offset, blur radius, spread, color, and opacity, and optionally stack multiple shadows or add an inset shadow. Watch the preview update live and copy the finished CSS when it looks right.

How to use Box Shadow Generator

  1. Adjust the offset, blur, and spread sliders
  2. Pick a shadow color and opacity
  3. Toggle inset if you want an inner shadow, or add another shadow layer
  4. Copy the generated box-shadow CSS

Who should use it

Made for everyone. Typical uses:

  • Adding a subtle drop shadow to a card component to lift it off the page
  • Creating a layered shadow effect by stacking multiple shadow values
  • Building an inset shadow for a pressed-button or input-field state

Frequently asked questions

Can I stack multiple shadows on one element?
Yes, box-shadow accepts a comma-separated list of shadows, and the generator lets you add and preview several at once.
What's the difference between blur and spread?
Blur softens the shadow's edges, while spread expands or shrinks the shadow's size before the blur is applied.
Is it free to use?
Yes, completely free.
Is my design data sent anywhere?
No, the whole tool — preview and CSS generation — runs in your browser.
What does the inset option do?
It flips the shadow to render inside the element's border instead of outside, useful for pressed or recessed effects.
