CSS Utility
CSS Shadow Generator
This tool helps you build box shadows visually instead of manually adjusting raw CSS values. It is useful for cards, buttons, floating panels, and design token experiments.
What it does
- Controls shadow offset, blur, spread, opacity, radius, and color.
- Shows a dedicated preview scene so the shadow can be judged in context.
- Includes presets so you can move faster toward a usable elevation style.
- Exports the CSS rule for direct copy-and-paste use.
How to use it
- Open
/CSSShadowGenerator/.
- Start with a preset or adjust the sliders manually.
- Watch the preview stage while tuning blur, spread, and offset.
- Copy the final CSS block when the shadow feels balanced.
Notes
- Low blur with a dark color usually feels sharper and more graphic.
- Higher blur with lower opacity usually feels softer and more premium.
- Use the generator to define shadow tokens like
sm, md, and lg.
