How to create soft layered shadows
- 1Configure horizontal offset, vertical offset, blur radius, and spread.
- 2Add multiple layers to achieve smooth modern elevation styles.
- 3Copy the resulting CSS `box-shadow` declaration.
Layered Shadows for Realistic Depth
Single-layer shadows look artificial. Stacking 2 to 4 subtle shadow layers creates the smooth optical falloff used by Stripe and Tailwind CSS.
Architecture & Privacy
- High-precision multi-layer stacking: Renders composite drop shadows with GPU compositing optimization.
- Full Inset shadow support: Correctly positions inner depth effects alongside outer elevations.
- Tailwind arbitrary syntax generator: Outputs ready-to-paste shadow-[...] values with underscore syntax mapping.
- Adaptive canvas testing: Switch between light, dark, and dot-grid backdrops to audit shadow legibility.
