CSS Box Shadow Generator
Create custom CSS box shadow effects and copy code
CSS Box Shadow Generator
This generator lets you design custom drop shadows for web elements and copy the ready-to-use CSS, without writing the property by hand. The box-shadow property adds depth and hierarchy to buttons, cards, modals, and images, and getting the values right by trial and error in code can be slow. With a visual tool, you adjust each setting and see the effect update instantly.
The CSS box-shadow property is built from a few values: the horizontal and vertical offset that move the shadow, the blur radius that softens its edges, the spread that grows or shrinks it, and the color, often set with some transparency for a natural look. Adjust these, preview the result, and copy the generated code straight into your stylesheet.
Tips for Better Shadows
Subtle shadows usually look more professional than heavy ones, so keep the blur soft and the color semi-transparent rather than solid black. You can stack multiple shadows in a single declaration for layered, realistic depth, and add the inset keyword to create an inner shadow for pressed or recessed effects. Everything runs in your browser, so nothing you enter is saved, and you can experiment freely until the look matches your design.
