FAQ

Is this the same as a CSS drop-shadow?

Similar concept but baked into the image pixels. Useful when you need the shadow in the actual sprite file, not just CSS rendering.

What offset values work best?

For pixel art, 1–3px offset with dark color and 50% opacity is a good starting point. Experiment with the preview.

Can I create a cast shadow (perspective)?

This tool creates simple drop shadows with X/Y offset. For perspective shadows, you'd need to use the pixel editor manually.
