CSS Inner Shadow Generator
Generate inset box-shadow CSS for pressed surfaces.
Inset shadows for depth
An inset box-shadow makes a surface look recessed or pressed — perfect for input wells, toggles, and neumorphic UI. This generator builds inset shadow CSS with a live preview so you can dial in the pressed-in look precisely.
Inner shadows are subtle: too strong and they look grimy, too soft and they vanish. A live preview lets you tune the offset, blur, and opacity until the surface reads as genuinely inset. Copy the box-shadow declaration when it looks right.
Copy-ready inset shadow
The inset keyword on box-shadow is what makes a surface look recessed rather than raised. The rule is generated in your browser with nothing uploaded.
