About Box Shadow Generator
Built with front-end developers and UI designers in mind, the Box Shadow Generator keeps every input and every result on one clean page. Because it runs in your browser with no signup, you can experiment freely - the tool just hands you clean CSS you can trust. Design a CSS box shadow with full control over offset, blur, spread, opacity and colour, and copy the exact box-shadow rule in one click. The tool supports inner shadows via the inset option and multiple layered shadows for depth, which is how modern card and modal shadows are built. Designers use it to add depth to cards and buttons, developers to match a design spec exactly, and the live preview shows the shadow on a sample box. Because it runs locally, nothing is uploaded, and the output is clean CSS with no framework lock-in. It is the shadow tool that fiddling with shadow values by hand never gets right. It earns its keep when adding depth to a card design, when matching a Figma shadow in code, and whenever building a layered modal shadow. Small screen or large, the controls stay finger-friendly and the numbers stay readable.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does CSS box-shadow work?

What is the difference between box-shadow and drop-shadow?
box-shadow creates a rectangular shadow around the element's box. drop-shadow() CSS filter creates a shadow that follows the element's actual shape (including transparent parts).
