Today, I’ll show you how to create a stunning shadow effect that will make your images pop. With just a few simple steps, you’ll be able to add depth and dimension to your images, making them stand out from the crowd.

  • Adding a shadow effect to a PNG image can be done using the filter: drop-shadow() property in CSS.
  • This property is applied to the image element and takes four values: x-offset, y-offset, blur-radius, and color.
  • The x-offset and y-offset values specify the horizontal and vertical distance of the shadow from the image, respectively.
  • The blur-radius value determines the amount of blur applied to the shadow, while the color value specifies the color of the shadow.

Here’s an example of how to use the filter: drop-shadow() property to a PNG image:

More Complex Shadow Effect

To create a more complex shadow effect, you can adjust the values of the x-offset, y-offset, blur-radius, and color properties. For example, to create a shadow effect that appears to be coming from the bottom right corner of the image, you can use the following CSS:

shadow effect to a PNG image

img { 
filter: drop-shadow(10px 10px 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5)); 
}

This will add a shadow effect to the image with a horizontal offset of 10 pixels, a vertical offset of 10 pixels, a blur radius of 10 pixels, and a shadow color of rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5). For More Information Read CSS filter Property.
