We have designed this Drop Shadow CSS Generator tool with love keeping in mind hat user like you want easy to use user-interface and having all the modern features. I hope you will love this tool.
A drop shadow is basically that soft, subtle shadow you see behind an object like text, images, buttons, or pretty much any element in graphic design. In html, we use CSS to generate drop shadow effect with lots of customization like inset, offset, horizontal offset, vartical offset, opacity, radius etc.
For example, the icons on your phone's home screen? Almost always have a subtle drop shadow. Button on a website that appears with shadow on hovering on it. These are some of its example.
Even though both appears and sounds similar, but they are different in use case.
| Feature | Drop Shadow | Box Shadow |
|---|---|---|
| What it actually shadows | The content/shape itself (including transparent areas) | The entire rectangular box of the element |
| Works on images/PNGs | Yes (perfect for logos with transparency) | Kinda sucks (shadows the bounding box, not the visible shape) |
| Works on text | Yes (the actual letters get the shadow) | Yes, but technically it is still the text's box |
| CSS property | filter: drop-shadow() | box-shadow |
| Respects irregular shapes | Yes | No (always rectangular) |
| Performance | Slightly heavier (especially on lots of elements) | Usually faster |
In the leftside bar, there are few sliders like Horizontal Offset, Vertical Offset, Blur Radius, Shadow Color and Opacity. The moment you interact witht he slicer, you will see a live preview of your drop shadow in the right side bar. The user interface and functionality is quite simple and i hope you all would like it.
