Frequently Asked Questions

How do box shadow values work?▾
Box shadow takes offset-x, offset-y, blur radius, spread radius, and color. Offset controls position, blur controls softness, and spread controls size. Negative spread makes the shadow smaller than the element.
Can I add multiple shadows?▾
Yes. Click "Add Shadow" to add additional shadow layers. Multiple shadows are common in modern design for creating depth and elevation effects.
What does the inset option do?▾
The inset keyword changes the shadow from an outer shadow (drop shadow) to an inner shadow. This creates a pressed or recessed appearance.
Can I control the shadow opacity?▾
Yes. Each shadow layer has an opacity slider (0-100%). The tool generates rgba() color values with the specified opacity.
Can I use this tool on my phone?▾
Yes, the box shadow generator works in any modern mobile browser. Adjust shadow parameters with sliders and copy the CSS on any device.
Does the generated CSS work with Tailwind CSS?▾
Yes. You can use the generated box-shadow value with Tailwind's arbitrary value syntax like shadow-[value] or define it as a custom shadow in your tailwind.config.js.
How many shadow layers can I add?▾
You can add multiple shadow layers to create complex depth effects. Each layer has independent controls for offset, blur, spread, color, opacity, and inset, allowing for realistic elevation designs.
