Quick Presets

Usage Tips: For premium designs, use low opacity (0.1 - 0.2) and large blur values. Layered mode creates a much softer, more natural falloff.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why use layered shadows?

Layering multiple shadows with low opacity creates a much softer, more realistic effect than a single dark shadow.

Q: What is an Inset shadow?

An inset shadow appears inside the element, creating a pressed or hollow effect, perfect for form inputs.
