How to Use This Tool
-
The Box Shadow on Hover Demo tool allows designers, developers, and UI/UX enthusiasts to easily create and preview CSS box-shadow effects with full customization. Start by adjusting the shadow properties such as X offset, Y offset, blur radius, spread radius, shadow color, and opacity. These settings control the depth, direction, and softness of the shadow, making it easy to design effects like subtle lifts, floating cards, glowing buttons, or layered shadows. By using the color picker and opacity slider, you can create shadows with solid colors, transparency, or neon glow effects that match your design needs.
Next, customize the box properties such as width, height, background color, and border-radius. This allows you to test shadows on different box sizes, shapes, and colors for a realistic preview. You can also fine-tune animation settings by adjusting transition duration, easing function, and hover effects like shadow only, lift, scale, glow, or multiple shadows. These options are essential for creating interactive UI elements, modern buttons, stylish cards, and professional hover animations that improve user experience.
Once satisfied, check the live preview panel to see your design in action. You can also view and copy the generated CSS code, or switch between HTML, CSS, and React tabs for implementation in different projects. Designers can experiment with pre-made shadow examples such as subtle elevation, floating cards, neon glow, and multiple shadow layers. This tool saves time, enhances creativity, and ensures responsive design, cross-browser compatibility, clean CSS code, and modern UI styling for websites, apps, and front-end projects.
