Frequently Asked Questions

Box-shadow adds shadow effects around an element's frame. It takes values for horizontal offset, vertical offset, blur radius, spread radius, and color. Multiple shadows can be layered.

Click 'Add Shadow' to add another shadow layer. Each shadow can have different settings. Shadows are rendered in order - the first shadow appears on top.

Blur radius controls how soft or sharp the shadow edge is. A value of 0 creates a sharp shadow. Higher values create softer, more diffuse shadows.

Spread radius expands or contracts the shadow. Positive values make the shadow larger than the element. Negative values make it smaller. Zero keeps it the same size.

Toggle the 'Inset' option to create an inner shadow instead of an outer shadow. Inset shadows appear inside the element, creating a pressed or carved effect.

Yes! Adjust the opacity slider to create semi-transparent shadows. Lower opacity creates subtle shadows, while higher opacity creates more dramatic effects.

Common patterns include: subtle lift (small blur, low opacity), material design (larger offset, medium blur), neumorphism (inset + outer shadows), and hard shadow (no blur).

Click 'Copy CSS' to copy the complete box-shadow property to your clipboard. The code is ready to paste directly into your stylesheet.

No, box-shadow doesn't affect element dimensions or layout. Shadows are purely visual and paint outside (or inside for inset) the element's box without taking space.

Box-shadow is supported in all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and even IE9+. No vendor prefixes are needed for current browsers.
