A visual elevation design studio. Stack 1 to 6 micro-shadows using exponential decay curves, apply ambient brand color tints, toggle Apple-style specular top rim lights, and export vanilla CSS box-shadow or Tailwind arbitrary classes in real time. 100% in-browser.

How It Works

  1. Adjust elevation distance, micro-layer count, and blur sliders to tune light falloff.
  2. Toggle top specular rim lights or change the shadow tint color to match your brand.
  3. Click Copy CSS, Copy Tailwind, or Theater View to review the shadow across backdrops.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do multi-layered shadows look significantly better than single box-shadows?

Real-world light scatters through ambient air, producing multiple penumbras of varying sharpness and diffusion. Stacking 3 to 6 micro-layers with quadratic curves simulates authentic physical optics, eliminating harsh dark borders.

What is the top specular rim light feature?

Our studio includes an optional subtle inset highlight (inset 0 1px 0 0 rgba(255,255,255,0.12)) that mimics Apple VisionOS and macOS glass materials catching light on the top bevel.

Can I export this directly into Tailwind CSS?

Yes! You can copy the single-line arbitrary utility class (e.g. shadow-[...]) or copy the config extension snippet to paste into your tailwind.config.js theme extension.
