About Box Shadow Generator

This Box Shadow Generator lets you design CSS shadows visually instead of guessing values by hand. Adjust X/Y offset, blur, spread, color and opacity with sliders, layer up to five shadows for depth, and preview the result against a customizable box shape and background. Start from a preset like Material or Soft Glow, then copy the finished shadow as CSS or a Tailwind arbitrary-value class.

Features

Visual Controls

Intuitive sliders for X/Y offset, blur, spread, and opacity.

Multiple Shadows

Layer up to 5 shadows for complex depth effects.

Live Preview

See your shadow update in real-time with customizable preview.

CSS & Tailwind

Copy standard CSS or Tailwind arbitrary value syntax.

How to use Box Shadow Generator

    Pick a preset or start blank

    Layer more shadows if needed

    Add up to five shadows, reorder them, or toggle any layer to inset for a pressed-in look.

  5. 5

    Copy the CSS or Tailwind code

    Copy the finished box-shadow value as standard CSS, or as a Tailwind arbitrary-value class.

  • Designing card and button shadows for a UI
  • Building Material Design-style elevation levels

  • Prototyping shadow presets before writing CSS by hand

Privacy

All shadow calculations run in your browser as you move the sliders. Nothing about the colors or values you choose is sent to a server.
