CSS Box Shadow Generator: Design Shadows Visually
Create pixel-perfect CSS box shadows using visual sliders instead of guessing values. Preview the result in real time and copy the CSS code.
What It Does
The CSS Box Shadow Generator lets you design box shadows by adjusting horizontal offset, vertical offset, blur radius, spread radius, color, and opacity with visual controls. It supports multiple shadows layered together and shows both inset and outset options. The live preview updates instantly as you tweak each property.
How to Use It
Use the sliders to adjust shadow offset, blur, spread, and color. Toggle inset for inner shadows. Add multiple shadow layers for depth effects. When satisfied with the preview, click Copy CSS to grab the complete box-shadow property.
Tips & Tricks
Layer two or three subtle shadows for a more natural, realistic depth effect than a single heavy shadow. Use a slight colored tint in shadows to match your page accent color for a cohesive look. Inset shadows work great for pressed button states.
Use Cases
Front-end developers create card elevation shadows matching Material Design specifications. UI designers prototype shadow styles before handing off to development. CSS learners experiment with shadow properties to understand how each value affects the result.
