Question 1

What is a CSS box shadow?

Accepted Answer

A CSS box shadow adds shadow effects around an element's frame using the box-shadow property. You can specify offset, blur, spread, color, and whether the shadow is inset or outset.

Question 2

Can I add multiple box shadow layers?

Accepted Answer

Yes! CSS supports multiple comma-separated shadows on a single element. This generator lets you add and remove layers independently.

Question 3

What does inset mean for box shadows?

Accepted Answer

The inset keyword changes the shadow from an outer (drop) shadow to an inner shadow — the shadow appears inside the element's border.

Question 4

How do I use the generated CSS?

Accepted Answer

Click 'Copy CSS' to copy the box-shadow declaration to your clipboard, then paste it into your stylesheet.
