How to Use This Tool

The Card Shadow Depth Preview Tool is perfect for UI/UX designers, front-end developers, and web creators who want to visualize and generate CSS box-shadow styles in real time. Start by adjusting the shadow properties such as X offset, Y offset, blur radius, and spread radius. You can pick a shadow color with opacity control to create soft or strong effects. The light source indicator helps you understand how elevation affects your design, following Material Design shadow depth principles.

Next, customize your card properties like width, height, background color, and border radius to test different card layouts. You can also try out preset shadows including Subtle, Medium, Deep, Floating, Hover, and Layered styles to quickly apply professional shadow presets. The background options (solid, gradient, grid, or image) let you preview your shadow in real-world design contexts. The depth meter visually shows how “elevated” your card looks compared to common UI shadow levels.

Once your design is ready, the tool generates clean, reusable CSS code instantly. You can also view the HTML structure or Tailwind box-shadow classes for quick integration into your project. Copy the CSS or full implementation with one click and apply it to cards, modals, buttons, or UI containers. This makes it easy to create modern, responsive, and accessible shadow effects that improve visual hierarchy, depth perception, and user experience in any web application.
