Frequently asked questions
Will the two platforms render identically?
No. Their shadow systems differ. The preview is a guide, not an exact native-device rendering.
Can I paste browser box-shadow CSS directly into React Native?
This tool provides native-style properties. Use the generated native output rather than assuming browser CSS applies.
