FAQ

Questions about shadow generation

What browsers support the generated CSS?+
Our box-shadow CSS works on all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and even IE11 (with basic support). We auto-add vendor prefixes where needed.
Can I create inset shadows for input fields?+
Absolutely. Just toggle the "Inset" switch and adjust blur/spread — perfect for form inputs, card hover states, and pressed button effects.
How do I create a smooth neumorphism shadow?+
Use two shadow layers: one dark offset shadow and one light highlight. Our multi-layer mode makes this easy — just add two shadows with opposite offsets.
Is there a limit on how many shadows I can create?+
No limits. Generate unlimited shadows, save them as presets, and use them across unlimited projects — all free.
Can I use the generated code in commercial projects?+
Yes! 100% royalty-free. No attribution required. Use the CSS anywhere — personal, commercial, or client work.

Fully responsive touch interface. Use sliders and preview shadows on any smartphone or tablet.
How do I copy the CSS code?+
Click the "Copy CSS" button — the full box-shadow property is copied to your clipboard with all prefixes included.
