About this tool

The output is box-shadow: X Y blur spread color. Positive X moves the shadow right and positive Y moves it down. Blur softens the edge, and spread grows or shrinks the shadow before blurring (negative spread makes it smaller than the element). The color is taken as a solid HEX value; soft, realistic shadows usually need transparency, so consider replacing it with, for example, rgb(0 0 0 / 15%) in the copied CSS.

How to use it

  1. Set the X and Y offsets in pixels.
  2. Adjust blur and spread.
  3. Pick a color and copy the CSS.

Examples

  • Soft card shadow

    0px 8px 24px 0px with a semi-transparent black gives a gentle lift.

  • Hard offset shadow

    6px 6px 0px 0px #000000 creates a flat, graphic-style shadow.
