With support for multiple shadow layers and real-time preview, this tool helps you design elevation and depth effects for any UI component without writing manual CSS.
What is a CSS Box Shadow?
A CSS box-shadow adds a shadow effect to an element’s frame. Shadows are widely used to create hierarchy, depth, or highlight interactive elements. By layering multiple shadows, you can achieve soft glows, 3D depth, neumorphism, glassmorphism, and more.

Frequently asked questions
Can I create multiple box-shadow layers?
Yes. Add multiple shadow layers and control the position, blur, spread, color, visibility, and inset state of each one.
What is the difference between outer and inset shadows?
Outer shadows create elevation around an element, while inset shadows appear inside it and create a pressed or recessed effect.
Can I preview shadows on different colors?
Yes. Change both the preview background and the preview element color without affecting the generated shadow values.
Is the generated CSS ready to use?
Yes. All visible layers are combined into one copy-ready box-shadow declaration.
