Create Professional Box Shadows Instantly with Our Free CSS Generator
Box shadows add depth, dimension, and visual hierarchy to web designs, but crafting the perfect shadow effect requires precision and experimentation. Our CSS box shadow generator provides a visual interface where you can adjust every shadow property in real-time, see instant previews, save your favorite effects as presets, and export clean CSS code ready to paste into your projects.
Why Use a Box Shadow Generator?
Writing box-shadow CSS from scratch involves juggling multiple values—horizontal and vertical offsets, blur radius, spread radius, color, and opacity. Getting the perfect shadow often requires countless adjustments and previews in the browser. Our visual editor eliminates this tedious process by letting you manipulate all shadow properties with intuitive sliders and a color picker, while seeing the results instantly. No more guessing at pixel values or refreshing your browser to check changes.
Complete Control Over Shadow Properties
Fine-tune every aspect of your box shadow with precise controls. Adjust horizontal and vertical offsets to position your shadow exactly where you want it. Control blur radius to create soft, subtle shadows or sharp, defined edges. Use spread radius to expand or contract the shadow size. Choose any color with the built-in color picker and adjust opacity for the perfect transparency level. Toggle inset mode to create inner shadows for pressed button effects or inset design elements. Every adjustment updates the live preview immediately, so you always see exactly what you're creating.
Save Time with Presets and One-Click Export
Found a shadow effect you love? Save it as a preset for instant reuse across different projects. Build a library of your favorite shadow styles—subtle elevation effects, dramatic drop shadows, soft glows, or sharp inset shadows—and apply them with one click. When you're satisfied with your design, copy the production-ready CSS code instantly. The generated code is clean, optimized, and ready to paste directly into your stylesheet or inline styles.
