Does the image need a transparent background?

No, but without transparency the shadow appears around the entire rectangular image. For a shadow around the subject only, use the Background Remover tool first.

Can I change the shadow color?

Yes. Use the color picker to choose any color. You can create colored glow effects as well as traditional black shadows.

Will the shadow be clipped if it extends beyond the image edge?

No. The canvas is automatically expanded so the shadow is never cut off.

Is the output background transparent?

Yes. The result is saved as a transparent PNG so you can place it over any background.

Can I process multiple images at once?

Yes. Upload up to 20 images and apply the same shadow settings to all of them in one batch.

Drop Shadow Tips & Use Cases

Product Photography — Elevate E-Commerce Images

Adding a subtle shadow to white-background product photos creates a floating, three-dimensional effect. A blur of 20–30 px with 25–35% opacity produces a natural-looking result.

App Screenshots — App Store & Play Store Listings

Adding a shadow to device mockup screenshots makes the phone appear to float above the background, creating a polished presentation look. A white glow shadow works well against dark backgrounds.

Design Mockups — Presentations & Portfolios

Export design mockups from Figma or Sketch as PNG and add a shadow to make them stand out in client presentations or portfolio pages. Layered shadows can be achieved by applying the effect twice.
