About Box Shadow Generator

Layered shadows stack several shadows that grow in size and fade, which looks softer and more natural than one large blur. Keep opacity low on light backgrounds; dark interfaces need stronger shadows to be seen.

How do I get a soft, natural shadow?

Use several layers. Layered shadows grow in size and fade, which looks softer than one large blur.

Why is my shadow invisible on a dark background?

Dark interfaces need stronger shadows. Raise the opacity, or keep it low on light backgrounds.
