Frequently Asked Questions

What is CSS box-shadow?

CSS box-shadow adds shadow effects around an element's frame. You can set the shadow's offset, blur, spread, color, and whether it appears inside (inset) or outside the element.

Can I add multiple shadows?

Yes, CSS supports multiple box shadows separated by commas. This tool lets you add, remove, and configure multiple shadow layers.

What is an inset shadow?

An inset shadow appears inside the element rather than outside. It creates an inner shadow or pressed-in effect.

How do I create a soft shadow?

For a soft, natural shadow, use a large blur radius (15-30px) with a small offset (2-5px) and a semi-transparent dark color.
