Shadows Brumm A more advanced generator that allows you to control the count of layers of shadows, transparency, strength, distances, etc. 4. Neumorphism For those into based designs, this generator is a must-have. Sleek and modern-looking UI. neuromorphism 5. Shadow Palette Advanced shadow generator with modern UI. Created by one of the best to ever do it when it comes to CSS, . Josh W.Comeau 6. Shadow Examples If generators are not your thing, here is a huge collection of predefined shadows.
