CSS Shadow Generator

Create shadows with ease using our powerful CSS Shadow Generator. This intuitive tool is designed for web designers and frontend developers who want to craft visually appealing CSS shadow effects without writing code manually.

Whether you're working on buttons, cards, or containers, our CSS shadow generator helps you preview styles in real time, fine-tune parameters like blur, spread, offset, and color. It's the perfect solution for building clean and elegant CSS shadow boxes with just a few clicks.

How to Use the Shadow Generator

Choose a Shadow Type
Start by adjusting key parameters: X and Y offset, blur radius, spread, and shadow color. Want more depth? Add multiple shadow layers to create complex, layered shadows.

Adjust Style and Opacity
Use the built-in color picker to set solid or semi-transparent shadows. Fine-tune each layer’s opacity, blur, and color to match your design needs.

Preview Your Design
Instantly see how your shadows look on different shapes: boxes, circles, or custom containers. Drag the shadow on the canvas to reposition it interactively using your mouse or touch.

Add Layer

Adjusting Shadow Position
Click and drag on the canvas to change the shadow’s position interactively. Adjust both X and Y offsets in real time.

Shadow Layers
Click “Add Layer” to stack multiple shadows for a more complex look. Each layer can be customized separately (offsets, blur, spread, color, opacity).

Shadow Parameters
For each layer, you can fine-tune values like X/Y offset, blur radius, spread, and color.

Blur & Spread Control
Use sliders or input fields to precisely control the softness and size of each shadow.

Preview Shapes
Choose from different preview shapes like box, circle, or custom containers to see how shadows behave in context.
