Fast, practical, browser-based developer tools
Create CSS box shadows with live preview, copy-ready CSS, and inset support. Adjust horizontal offset, vertical offset, blur radius, spread radius, color, and inset mode to build shadows for cards, buttons, inputs, containers, and other interface elements.
Box shadows are widely used to create depth, focus, layering, and hierarchy in modern interface design. A good shadow can make cards feel elevated, buttons feel clickable, and panels feel more structured. This tool helps you build those shadows faster by letting you adjust the main values visually and copy the finished CSS immediately.
This box shadow generator is designed to work directly in your browser. That means your selected values and generated CSS can be handled locally on your device during the normal workflow.

A box shadow generator is a tool that helps you visually create CSS shadow effects for elements such as cards, panels, buttons, and containers. It lets you adjust the shadow and instantly copy the final CSS.
This page supports both normal and inset shadows and provides a live preview for faster UI styling and cleaner CSS output.
Shadows can help separate layers, improve focus, and make components feel more tangible. Even subtle shadows can improve visual hierarchy in a design. Stronger shadows can add drama or emphasis, while inset shadows can create recessed or pressed effects.
The main box-shadow properties control where the shadow appears, how soft it looks, and how far it spreads. Understanding these values helps you build more intentional UI effects.
Inset shadows are useful when you want an element to feel recessed instead of elevated. They are often used for pressed buttons, input fields, soft inner glow effects, or subtle container styling that feels embedded into the background.
