Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the free online image shadow generator.
Choose a photo, set the offset, blur and opacity, pick a shadow colour, then click the
download link to save the PNG.
No. The silhouette is blurred and composited on a local canvas, so your photo never leaves
your device.
The alpha channel of the image is blurred into a soft silhouette, offset by your chosen
amount and filled with the shadow colour.
A transparent PNG casts a shadow in the shape of its subject, while an opaque photo casts a
rectangular shadow around its edges.
The offset moves the shadow away from the photo. Positive values push it right and down, and
negative values push it left and up.
Increase the blur radius for a soft, far away look, or use a small radius for a crisp shadow
that sits close to the subject.
Yes. The output canvas is enlarged to fit the shadow, so the original photo is never cropped
by the offset or the blur.

tablets and desktop computers.
