Neumorphism Generator

The Neumorphism Generator is a free online tool that helps you create soft UI CSS effects using dual shadows. It is perfect for UI designers and frontend developers who want to design tactile, extruded elements. Use it to generate the precise box-shadow code needed for the neumorphism trend.

How the Neumorphism Generator works

  1. 1

    Add Your Content

    Pick a surface color, then set the shadow distance (2 to 40px), the intensity of the light and dark contrast (5 to 40 percent), and choose between a Raised or Pressed shape.

  2. 2

    Format Your Data

    The tool calculates the exact dual box-shadow syntax required to create the soft 3D illusion. It updates a live preview so you can see the soft UI effect morph in real time.

  3. 3

    Get Your Results

    Copy the generated CSS code from the output panel. Paste it directly into your stylesheet to apply the soft, tactile look to your buttons or inputs.

Neumorphism Generator FAQ

Is an account required to use this tool?

No, you can use this tool instantly without registering or logging in.

Is my data secure and private?

Yes, all processing happens directly in your browser, meaning your design data is never sent to our servers.

Does the tool work offline?

Once the page is loaded, the core generation engine works entirely offline in your browser.

Which controls shape the soft UI effect?

A surface color picker plus three sliders: shadow distance (2 to 40px) and intensity (5 to 40 percent), and a Raised or Pressed shape selector.

What is the difference between Raised and Pressed?

Raised places the dark and light shadows outside the element for an extruded look; Pressed switches them to inset shadows so the surface appears carved into the background.

How is this different from similar text editors?

Unlike code editors, this tool provides a visual canvas to see the complex dual-shadow effects before writing code.

What is the technical working principle?

The tool maps your slider inputs to two distinct CSS box-shadow values (one light, one dark) to simulate a 3D extrusion.

What is the most common use case?

Designers most commonly use it to quickly prototype and generate the precise dual-shadow CSS needed for soft UI components.
