The CSS box-shadow property is used to apply one or more shadows to an element and can be used to highlight or emphasise an element, provide depth to designs and provide visual feedback.

There is no need to be concerned about box-shadow browser compatibility. It's a well-known CSS property that's supported by almost every browser, supporting syntaxes like inset and multiple shadows.

Using the options below you can customise the look and feel of the box drop shadow. You can then copy and paste the generated CSS3 Box Shadow code into your stylesheets.
