✨CSS Box Shadow Generator
Add depth and dimension to your web designs with our interactive CSS Box Shadow Generator. This tool provides a simple, visual interface to create complex `box-shadow` properties. Use the sliders to control the horizontal and vertical offsets, blur radius, and spread radius. A color picker lets you choose the exact shade for your shadow, and you can even create inner shadows with the 'inset' option.
The generator gives you a real-time preview of your shadow effect and provides the cross-browser CSS code, ready to be copied and pasted into your stylesheet. It's the easiest way to design subtle or dramatic shadow effects without guesswork.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the 'spread' radius do?
The spread radius allows you to expand or shrink the shadow. Positive values will make the shadow larger and more prominent, while negative values will make it smaller than the element itself.
What is an 'inset' shadow?
An inset shadow is drawn inside the element's border instead of outside. This creates a pressed-in or sunken appearance, which is great for effects like depressed buttons or inner frames.
Can I create multiple shadows on one element?
Yes, you can apply multiple shadows by providing a comma-separated list of shadow values to the `box-shadow` property. This allows you to create more complex and realistic depth effects. While this generator creates one shadow at a time, you can generate several and combine them manually in your CSS.
