CSS Box Shadow Generator
Build CSS box-shadow styles visually with live preview — adjust offset, blur, spread, color, and opacity, then copy the ready-to-use CSS code.
What Does This Tool Do?
Instead of guessing box-shadow values and refreshing your browser to see the result, this tool lets you adjust the shadow parameters visually with a live preview that updates in real time. When you're happy with the look, copy the CSS code and paste it directly into your stylesheet.
Key Features
How to Use This Tool
- Adjust the H-Offset and V-Offset sliders to position the shadow.
- Set the Blur for softness and Spread to grow or shrink the shadow.
- Pick a color and set the opacity.
- Toggle Inset for an inner glow effect.
- Click Update to apply changes to the preview, then Copy CSS.
How It Works
Each parameter control updates the CSS box-shadow value: H-Offset and V-Offset position the shadow, Blur determines softness, Spread makes it larger or smaller, Color and Opacity combine to set the RGBA color. The inset keyword switches from outer to inner shadow. The resulting CSS is shown in real time.
Common Use Cases
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I add multiple shadows?
CSS box-shadow supports multiple shadows separated by commas. Generate each shadow separately and combine them in your stylesheet: box-shadow: shadow1, shadow2;
What is the inset option for?
Inset creates a shadow inside the element rather than outside. Useful for pressed button effects, inner glows, and neumorphic design styles.
