CSS Box Shadow Generator

The right shadow gives a card, button, or modal a real sense of elevation, but hand-tuning box-shadow values in code is slow and error-prone. Our free CSS Box Shadow Generator turns that into a visual, slider-driven process with an instant live preview.

Adjust horizontal and vertical offset, blur, spread, color, and opacity, then flip any layer to inset for pressed or engraved effects. Because it's a multi-layer shadow css generator, you can stack several shadows to build realistic depth, soft neumorphism, or glowing outlines — and one-click presets get you started in seconds. The box shadow preview updates as you drag, so this css shadow designer shows exactly how the effect will look before you commit to it.

Everything runs locally in your browser, and the tool outputs both plain CSS and a ready-to-paste Tailwind class you can copy with a single click — nothing is ever sent to a server. Pair this box shadow maker with the Gradient Generator for richer backgrounds, the Color Palette Generator for matching shadow tones, and the CSS Minifier to compress your final styles.
