Runs in your browser. Nothing you enter is uploaded. Last updated

How to use

  1. Start from a preset or adjust offset, blur, spread, colour and opacity.
  2. Add layers for more realistic depth; select a layer to edit it.
  3. Copy the box-shadow declaration into your stylesheet or Elementor custom CSS.

What this tool does

It writes a valid CSS box-shadow value, combining layers with commas in the order shown.

Why it matters

Several low-opacity layers usually look more natural than one dark shadow, because real shadows are soft and spread out with distance.

Tips

  • Match the shadow colour to the background hue rather than pure black for a cleaner look.
  • Large blur values on many elements can affect scrolling performance on low-end devices.

Frequently asked questions

How do I use this in Elementor?

Elementor's Box Shadow control supports one layer. For layered shadows, paste the CSS into the widget's Custom CSS (Pro) or a class in your theme stylesheet.
