What is CSS Box Shadow?

CSS box-shadow is a property that adds shadow effects around an element's frame. You can set multiple effects separated by commas. Our box shadow generator makes it easy to create and customize shadows with a visual editor. Adjust offsets, blur, spread, color, and create inset shadows with real-time preview.

Box Shadow Properties

  • Horizontal Offset (X): Moves shadow left (negative) or right (positive)
  • Vertical Offset (Y): Moves shadow up (negative) or down (positive)
  • Blur Radius: Higher values create more blur. 0 creates sharp edges
  • Spread Radius: Positive values expand shadow, negative values shrink it
  • Shadow Color: Shadow color with optional opacity (use hex with alpha or rgba)
  • Inset Shadow: Changes shadow from outer to inner (inside the element)

How to Use

  • Adjust horizontal and vertical offsets to position the shadow
  • Set blur radius for shadow softness and spread radius for size
  • Choose shadow color and toggle inset if needed
  • Add multiple shadows for layered effects, then copy the CSS code
