How to Use the CSS Shadow Generator

Here’s a super simple guide to making shadows:

  1. Go to the CSS Shadow Generator tool – Open the tool in your browser. No need to sign up or download anything.
  2. Choose your element – Decide what you want the shadow to apply to. Are you working with text, an image, or a div? Pick your target.
  3. Adjust the settings – Play around with the shadow's settings:
    • Horizontal and vertical offset – This controls how far the shadow is from the element. Play with these numbers to move the shadow around.
    • Blur radius – This will make your shadow sharp or soft. A higher value gives a more blurred shadow.
    • Spread radius – Want the shadow to be bigger or smaller? Adjust the spread to change the size.
    • Color – Choose the color of the shadow. You can make it subtle with light grays or bold with darker colors.
  4. Preview and tweak – You’ll see the shadow update in real-time as you adjust the settings. Keep playing until it looks just right.
  5. Generate the code – Once you’re happy with the shadow, the tool will show you the CSS code. Copy that code and paste it into your website’s stylesheet.
  6. Add the CSS to your site – Paste the generated code into your CSS file, and the shadow effect will be applied to your chosen element.
Pro tip: Shadows are all about balance—don’t go too overboard with them. A subtle shadow can look sleek and modern, while too much can make things look messy.

FAQs

Can I use this for shadows on text?

Yep! You can generate shadows for text, which can help give it more depth and make it stand out against the background.

What’s the difference between offset and blur radius?

The offset controls how far the shadow is from the element (left/right or up/down), while the blur radius controls how soft or sharp the shadow is. Higher blur = softer shadow.

Can I make the shadow color any shade I want?

Totally! You can choose any color for your shadow. You can even use RGBA or HEX color codes to make it semi-transparent or any custom shade.

How do I apply the shadow to my website?

Once you’ve generated the CSS code, just copy and paste it into your website’s stylesheet, and the shadow will be applied to the element you selected.

Can I generate multiple shadows for one element?

Yes! You can add multiple shadows to an element by separating each shadow with a comma in the CSS. For example, you can add a subtle shadow and then a bolder one for a layered effect.
