How CSS box-shadow generation works

The tool composes each layer offset, blur, spread, color and opacity into a box-shadow value, stacks multiple layers with commas, and previews live. Generated locally.

Usage Guidelines & Tips

  • Stacking layers (one tight near shadow plus one soft far one) gives more natural depth.
  • inset draws the shadow inside the element, used for recessed, pressed or input effects.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I create multiple shadows?

Click "Add layer"; box-shadow accepts several comma-separated values, which the tool merges — often one tight near shadow plus one soft far one.

2. What is inset?

inset draws the shadow inside the element for a recessed or inner-glow effect; tick it — common for pressed buttons or inputs.
