Make shadows in css

CSS Box Shadow

The CSS box-shadow property is used to apply one or more shadows to an element.

Specify a Horizontal and a Vertical Shadow

In its simplest use, you only specify a horizontal and a vertical shadow. The default color of the shadow is the current text-color.

Example

Specify a horizontal and a vertical shadow:

Specify a Color for the Shadow

The color parameter defines the color of the shadow.

Example

Specify a color for the shadow:

Add a Blur Effect to the Shadow

The blur parameter defines the blur radius. The higher the number, the more blurred the shadow will be.

Example

Add a blur effect to the shadow:

Set the Spread Radius of the Shadow

The spread parameter defines the spread radius. A positive value increases the size of the shadow, a negative value decreases the size of the shadow.

Example

Set the spread radius of the shadow:

Set the inset Parameter

The inset parameter changes the shadow from an outer shadow (outset) to an inner shadow.

Example

Add Multiple Shadows

An element can also have multiple shadows:

Example

Cards

You can also use the box-shadow property to create paper-like cards:

Example

div.card <
width: 250px;
box-shadow: 0 4px 8px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2), 0 6px 20px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.19);
text-align: center;
>

box-shadow

The box-shadow CSS property adds shadow effects around an element’s frame. You can set multiple effects separated by commas. A box shadow is described by X and Y offsets relative to the element, blur and spread radius, and color.

Try it

The box-shadow property enables you to cast a drop shadow from the frame of almost any element. If a border-radius is specified on the element with a box shadow, the box shadow takes on the same rounded corners. The z-ordering of multiple box shadows is the same as multiple text shadows (the first specified shadow is on top).

Box-shadow generator is an interactive tool allowing you to generate a box-shadow .

Syntax

/* Keyword values */ box-shadow: none; /* offset-x | offset-y | color */ box-shadow: 60px -16px teal; /* offset-x | offset-y | blur-radius | color */ box-shadow: 10px 5px 5px black; /* offset-x | offset-y | blur-radius | spread-radius | color */ box-shadow: 2px 2px 2px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2); /* inset | offset-x | offset-y | color */ box-shadow: inset 5em 1em gold; /* Any number of shadows, separated by commas */ box-shadow: 3px 3px red, -1em 0 0.4em olive; /* Global values */ box-shadow: inherit; box-shadow: initial; box-shadow: revert; box-shadow: revert-layer; box-shadow: unset; 

Specify a single box-shadow using:

To specify multiple shadows, provide a comma-separated list of shadows.

Values

If not specified (default), the shadow is assumed to be a drop shadow (as if the box were raised above the content). The presence of the inset keyword changes the shadow to one inside the frame (as if the content was debossed inside the box). Inset shadows are drawn inside the border (even transparent ones), above the background, but below content.

If both and are set to 0 , the shadow is placed behind the element (and may generate a blur effect if and/or is set).

…for a long, straight shadow edge, this should create a color transition the length of the blur distance that is perpendicular to and centered on the shadow’s edge, and that ranges from the full shadow color at the radius endpoint inside the shadow to fully transparent at the endpoint outside it.

Interpolation

When animating shadows, such as when multiple shadow values on a box transition to new values on hover, the values are interpolated. Interpolation determines intermediate values of properties, such as the blur radius, spread radius, and color, as shadows transition. For each shadow in a list of shadows, the color, x, y, blur, and spread transition; the color as , and the other values as s.

In interpolating multiple shadows between two comma-separated lists of multiple box shadows, the shadows are paired, in order, with interpolation occurring between paired shadows. If the lists of shadows have different lengths, then the shorter list is padded at the end with shadows whose color is transparent , and X, Y, and blur are 0 , with the inset, or lack of inset, being set to match. If, in any pair of shadows, one has inset set and the other is does not, the entire shadow list is uninterpolated; the shadows will change to the new values without an animating effect.

Formal definition

Initial value	none
Applies to	all elements. It also applies to ::first-letter .
Inherited	no
Computed value	any length made absolute; any specified color computed; otherwise as specified
Animation type	a shadow list

Formal syntax

Examples

Setting three shadows

In this example, we include three shadows: an inset shadow, a regular drop shadow, and a 2px shadow that creates a border effect (we could have used an outline instead for that third shadow).

HTML

blockquote> q> You may shoot me with your words,br /> You may cut me with your eyes,br /> You may kill me with your hatefulness,br /> But still, like air, I'll rise. q> p>— Maya Angeloup> blockquote> 

CSS

blockquote  padding: 20px; box-shadow: inset 0 -3em 3em rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1), 0 0 0 2px rgb(255, 255, 255), 0.3em 0.3em 1em rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3); > 

Result

Setting zero for offset and blur

When the x-offset , y-offset , and blur are all zero, the box shadow will be a solid-colored outline of equal-size on all sides. The shadows are drawn back to front, so the first shadow sits on top of subsequent shadows. When the border-radius is set to 0, as is the default, the corners of the shadow will be, well, corners. Had we put in a border-radius of any other value, the corners would have been rounded.

We added a margin the size of the widest box-shadow to ensure the shadow doesn’t overlap adjacent elements or go beyond the border of the containing box. A box-shadow does not impact box model dimensions.
