About CSS Shadow Generator

Design multi-layer box-shadow and text-shadow effects with live preview, presets, and production-ready CSS output — all in your browser.

How to use CSS Shadow Generator

  1. 1Choose between Box Shadow and Text Shadow modes.
  2. 2Adjust the shadow properties: offset X/Y, blur, spread (box only), and color.
  3. 3Add multiple shadow layers for depth effects — each layer has independent controls.
  4. 4Toggle 'Inset' for inner shadows (box shadow only).
  5. 5Try presets (Subtle, Medium, Heavy, Neon Glow, Layered Depth) or build your own.
  6. 6Copy the CSS output for your project.

Tips

  • Layered shadows (3+ layers with decreasing opacity) create the most realistic depth effects.
  • Neon Glow shadows with bright colors on dark backgrounds create striking visual effects for CTAs.
  • Use subtle shadows (1-4px blur, low opacity) for cards and inputs — heavy shadows often look dated.

Free vs paid limits
