CSS Box Shadow Generator

Generate complex CSS box-shadows visually. Adjust position, blur, spread, and color to create depth and elevation for your UI elements.

Add Depth to Your Designs

Flat design is dead—long live subtle shadows! Our CSS Box Shadow Generator lets you create realistic elevation and depth effects visually. Drag sliders for X/Y offset, blur radius, spread, and color to see instant previews. Perfect for Material Design cards, floating buttons, and modern UI components that pop off the page!

Layer Multiple Shadows

The box-shadow property is incredibly powerful—stack multiple shadows separated by commas to create hyper-realistic lighting. This generator handles inset shadows too (inner glow effects). Export the CSS code directly into your stylesheet and watch your flat UI transform into something with real dimension!

Pro Tip: Material Design uses graduated shadow "elevation levels" (2dp, 4dp, 8dp...). Many designers layer 2-3 shadows: one tight/dark, one soft/light—for realistic depth!
