Box Shadow & Gradient Generator
Getting that perfect card elevation or that smooth gradient background in CSS usually involves a lot of trial and error. You tweak the offset, blur, and spread values, refresh the browser, and repeat — sometimes dozens of times before it looks right.
This generator cuts that cycle down to seconds. On the shadow side, you can stack multiple box-shadow layers to create realistic depth: a tight shadow for closeness, a wide diffused one for ambient light, and even inset shadows for pressed button effects. On the gradient side, add as many color stops as you need and toggle between linear and radial modes.
Every change is reflected live in the preview, so you see exactly what your users will see. When you're happy, just copy the CSS with one click. We've personally used this tool while building Utilyra's own UI — the glassmorphic cards and gradient headers you see across this site were prototyped right here.
