Frequently Asked Questions

What is a box shadow in CSS?

The CSS box-shadow property applies shadow effects around an element's frame. You can set multiple effects separated by commas. A box shadow is described by X and Y offsets relative to the element, blur and spread radius, and color.

Can I add multiple shadows to one element?

Yes, you can apply multiple shadows to a single element by separating each shadow with a comma. The shadows will be applied front-to-back with the first shadow on top.

What's the difference between blur and spread?

The blur radius affects how fuzzy the shadow appears - higher values create more blurred shadows. The spread radius expands or contracts the shadow - positive values cause the shadow to expand, negative values cause it to contract.

What are inset shadows?

Inset shadows are drawn inside the element's border (above the background, below content). They make the element appear pressed into the document rather than raised above it.

Do I need to install anything?

No. This is a browser-based tool that works on desktop and mobile devices. No installation or sign-up is required.

Can I use this tool commercially?

Absolutely. All generated code is free to use in both personal and commercial projects.
