About this tool

Builds a CSS box-shadow from offset, blur, spread, colour and opacity, with a live preview. Subtle shadows read better than strong ones — low opacity and modest blur usually beat the defaults people reach for.

Questions

What is spread?
It grows or shrinks the shadow before blurring. A negative spread pulls the shadow in, which is how you get a tight shadow directly under an element.
