Shadow Styles You Can Create
-
The "Floating" Drop Shadow
Best for small products like jewelry, electronics or cosmetics.
Use low Distance and high Blur to create a soft lift effect.
Pro tip: Keep opacity between 30% and 50% for a modern, subtle look. -
The "Grounded" Cast Shadow
Best for shoes, bottles, furniture or objects that should sit on a surface.
Use Angle, Distance and Shadow Squash to lay the shadow onto an invisible floor.
Pro tip: The shadow should always point away from your light source. If light comes from top-left, move the shadow toward bottom-right.
How to add a drop shadow to an image
- Upload a transparent PNG or WEBP image. If your photo has a background, use our Background Remover first.
- Adjust the shadow controls like angle, distance and blur to match your lighting.
- Download the final image with a realistic shadow in the original size. No account required. Your images are processed entirely in your browser - we never see or store your data.
Important: This tool works with PNG and WEBP images that have transparent background around the object. If your photo still has a background, first use our Background Remover Online Free Tool to remove the background and create a clean object cut-out before adding the shadow.
