Box Shadow Generator

What is Box Shadow Generator?

The CSS Box Shadow Generator is a free online tool that lets you create and customize box-shadow CSS effects with a live visual preview, then copy the generated CSS code directly into your stylesheet. Box shadows add depth, elevation, and visual hierarchy to UI elements — they are used on cards, buttons, modals, images, and containers to create the layered, three-dimensional look seen in modern web design and material design systems. Writing box-shadow CSS by hand requires understanding six parameters: horizontal offset, vertical offset, blur radius, spread radius, color, and inset. Getting these values right without a visual preview is guesswork. This tool lets you adjust each parameter with sliders and see the result in real time, so you can dial in the exact shadow effect you want before copying the CSS.
