About CSS Shadow Generator

What is CSS Shadow Generator?

CSS Shadow Generator helps you build box-shadow and text-shadow styles visually instead of adjusting numbers blindly in code. It is useful when you want depth, softness, elevation, glow, inset effects, or readable text shadows and need the exact CSS values quickly.

Shadows are one of the easiest ways to make buttons, cards, forms, popups, and headings look more polished, but they are hard to fine-tune from raw code alone. This tool makes it easier to experiment with offsets, blur, spread, opacity, and multi-layer shadows until the design looks right.

How to Use

1. Choose whether you want a box shadow or a text shadow.
2. Adjust offset, blur, spread, color, and opacity.
3. Preview the shadow live on the sample element or text.
4. Copy the generated CSS property for your project.
