Box Shadow Generator

Generate CSS box-shadow with sliders for offset, blur, spread, color, and opacity. Add multiple shadows.

What is Box Shadow Generator?

The Box Shadow Generator creates CSS box-shadow declarations through an interactive visual editor. Adjust horizontal offset, vertical offset, blur radius, spread radius, colour, and opacity in real time — seeing the shadow effect live before copying the CSS code.

CSS box shadows add depth and dimension to UI elements — cards, buttons, modals, and containers. Creating the perfect shadow for your design involves multiple parameters, and getting them right visually is much faster with this interactive tool than adjusting values in a stylesheet.

Why Use Box Shadow Generator?

The perfect box shadow elevates UI design from flat to polished. Instead of tweaking CSS values blindly and refreshing your browser, this tool lets you see the shadow effect update in real time as you adjust parameters — cutting design iteration time dramatically.

Key Features of Box Shadow Generator

  • Visual controls for all box-shadow properties
  • Live shadow preview on a white/dark background
  • Multiple shadow support (stack shadows)
  • Inset shadow toggle
  • Copy CSS with vendor prefixes if needed

How to Use Box Shadow Generator

  1. 1

    Adjust horizontal offset

    Set how far left or right the shadow extends from the element.

  2. 2

    Set vertical offset

    Control how far above or below the shadow falls.

  3. 3

    Adjust blur radius

    Higher blur values create softer, more diffuse shadows.

  4. 4

    Set spread radius

    Positive spread expands the shadow; negative shrinks it.

  5. 5

    Copy the CSS

    Once satisfied with the preview, click 'Copy CSS' to get your box-shadow declaration.
