Frequently asked questions
How do I create a soft, modern drop shadow?
Use a larger blur radius (20px-40px), a negative spread (-4px), and a low opacity (10%-25%) on a dark slate color for an ultra-smooth shadow.
Does this support inset inner shadows?
Yes. Enable the 'Inset Shadow' toggle to generate inner shadow effects ideal for input fields, wells, and pressed button states.
Can I test how the shadow looks on dark mode cards?
Yes. Click 'Dark Canvas' to test shadow contrast on deep slate and dark backgrounds.
Is the generated CSS compatible with all browsers?
Yes. It generates standard, W3C-compliant box-shadow syntax supported by all modern desktop and mobile browsers.
