How to Use React Native Shadow Generator

About this tool

Generate a starting point for iOS shadow properties and Android elevation styles.

How to use React Native Shadow Generator

1. Adjust Depth and choose Shadow color.
2. Inspect the browser preview and generated Style output.
3. Copy the styles into a React Native view and test on both target platforms.

Worked example

Try a moderate depth for a raised card and compare its appearance on iOS and Android.

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.
