Customizable Shadow Options
Adjust shadow blur, opacity, offset (X/Y), and color for complete creative control.
- Slide the Shadow Blur to control how sharp and smooth the edge of the shadow is. Low blur is for sharp edges, while high blur is for soft and natural shadows.
- Adjust the Shadow Opacity percentage to set the transparency. Low opacity makes shadow light, while high opacity makes shadow dark and solid.
- The Shadow Offset X/Y controls the direction and positioning of the shadow relative to the object. Move the shadow horizontally and vertically.
- Switch the Shadow Color to go beyond typical black or gray. Rich colors give a natural, stylized look to visuals.

FAQs about Adding Shadow to an Image
What is a shadow effect in image editing?
A shadow effect adds depth and makes a picture appear raised and visually appealing. Poindeo’s shadow effect creates a dynamic look on top of a background. Then you can adjust shadow customizations and padding style.
How do I add shadows to images?
Upload your image, click the “Canvas” in the left panel toolbar, and use the slider to enable shadow effects. You can then adjust shadow blur, opacity, angle, and color.
Can I customize shadow effects?
Yes, Poindeo lets you customize shadow properties, including blur, opacity, angle, and color. And you can create combined effects like below:
- Subtle, Natural Shadow: Low opacity, high blur, slight offset (X and Y), black or gray color.
- Strong, Harsh Shadow: High opacity, low blur, large offset, black color.
- Artistic or Thematic Shadow: Low opacity, high blur, colored shadow, slight offset, such as creating a glowing shadow in digital art.
- 3D-Like Shadow: Medium opacity, low blur, high offset—gives the impression that the object is floating or elevated from the background, creating depth.
