What is the Box Shadow Generator?
Box shadows add depth, but getting the syntax right (offset-x offset-y blur spread color) is fiddly. Configure your values or pick a preset (subtle, elevated, floating) and get copy-ready CSS. Layered shadows — multiple shadows on one element — create the realistic depth used by modern design systems.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Why use negative spread?
Negative spread shrinks the shadow tighter than the element, creating the soft 'floating' look without visible edges.
