FAQ

What is the CSS box-shadow syntax?

box-shadow: [inset] offsetX offsetY blurRadius spreadRadius color; Example: box-shadow: 2px 4px 8px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.2); Offset and blur are required; spread and inset are optional.

Can I apply multiple shadows to one element?

Yes. Separate each shadow with a comma: box-shadow: 0 2px 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.1), 0 8px 16px rgba(0,0,0,0.1); This is useful for layered depth effects.

How do I make a shadow look natural?

Natural shadows have small offset (2-8px), moderate blur (8-24px), and low opacity (0.1-0.3). Avoid hard shadows with 0 blur and high opacity — they look dated. Layering two shadows (a tight one for definition and a soft one for depth) looks most realistic.
