Client-side only. No data collection.

Frequently asked questions

Is Freeboxshadow free?

Yes. Ad-free, no signup.

Can I preview on different backgrounds?

Yes. Light, dark, or custom background to evaluate the shadow in context.

Does it support stacked shadows?

Yes. Add multiple shadow layers to create realistic depth.

What is the "inset" option?

Inset shadows appear inside the element, creating the effect of a depression rather than elevation.

Does it include text-shadow?

This tool is for box-shadow. For text-shadow, use a dedicated text-shadow generator.

Can I save my shadows?

Save CSS output to your project. The tool doesn't store history.
