Box Shadow Generator
Free CSS box-shadow generator that starts from a real preset, not a blank canvas — every generator we checked (e.g. front-end-tools.com) makes you dial in x/y/blur/spread/color from zero every time. Pick Material elevation, Neumorphism, or Long shadow and adjust from there. Supports up to 3 layered shadows, each individually toggled on/off, with inset support.
How it works
- Pick a starting preset: Material elevation, Neumorphism, or Long shadow
- Adjust each shadow layer's offset, blur, spread, color, and alpha — toggle layers on/off
- Copy the generated HTML + CSS with one click
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to start from scratch every time?
No — pick a preset (Material elevation, Neumorphism, or Long shadow) as a real starting point. We checked competing box-shadow generators directly and every one of them starts from a blank canvas with all values at zero.
Can I stack multiple shadows?
Yes — up to 3 layers, each individually toggled on or off, with its own offset, blur, spread, color, alpha, and inset setting.
Do I need to log in or does this cost anything?
No — everything runs in your browser, free, no account.
