Tips & Best Practices

1
Use multiple subtle layers of box-shadows (manually in CSS) rather than one harsh shadow for a more realistic, modern look.
2
Keep the shadow opacity low (between 10% and 20%) for clean, professional card designs.
3
Use inset shadows to create depressed or 'pressed button' effects.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this generate code for all browsers?

Yes, the standard 'box-shadow' property generated is widely supported across all modern browsers without needing vendor prefixes.

Can I add multiple shadows to one element?

This visual tool currently designs one shadow layer at a time. You can combine multiple generated codes in your CSS by separating them with commas.

What is an inset shadow?

An inset shadow appears inside the element's border rather than outside, creating an illusion that the element is sunk into the page.

How do I make the shadow softer?

Increase the 'Blur' slider and decrease the color's opacity (Alpha channel) to create a softer, more diffused shadow.
