? Frequently Asked Questions

What CSS shadow properties can I generate?

The tool generates box-shadow (for elements) and text-shadow (for text). You can control horizontal/vertical offset, blur radius, spread radius (box only), color, and inset shadows. Multiple shadows can be layered.

How do I create realistic shadow effects?

Realistic shadows use multiple layered shadows with different blur and opacity values to mimic real light. Start with a sharp, dark shadow close to the object, then add softer, lighter shadows for depth.

What's the difference between blur and spread?

Blur radius controls how soft/fuzzy the shadow edges are (larger = softer). Spread radius expands or contracts the shadow size before blurring. Spread is only available for box-shadow, not text-shadow.

Can I create inner shadows?

Yes! The 'inset' keyword creates inner shadows that appear inside the element, giving a recessed or inset appearance. This is great for creating pressed buttons or indented surfaces.

Does it show the live preview?

Yes, the generator provides real-time visual preview as you adjust shadow parameters. You can see exactly how the shadow looks and copy the generated CSS code directly into your stylesheet.

Is my data safe and secure?

Yes, absolutely! This tool runs entirely in your browser. All data processing happens locally on your device - nothing is uploaded to our servers. Your files and data never leave your computer, ensuring complete privacy and security.
