Product Image Shadow Maker

Add an adjustable drop-shadow to a product photo — blur, distance, angle, opacity, and color, with a canvas-expand option so the shadow is not clipped, all in your browser.

Adjustable drop-shadow · control blur, distance, angle, opacity, and color, and expand the canvas so the shadow is never clipped. This is a canvas effect, not a studio-lighting simulation.

How this tool works

Shape the shadow

Blur sets softness, distance and angle set where it falls, opacity sets how dark it is, and color sets the tint.

Canvas mode

Expand grows the canvas so the shadow is never clipped; Fixed places the product on a set width and height.

Output and size

Export PNG/WebP for transparency or JPG for a solid background, set the quality, and optionally a target file size.

Honest scope

This is a canvas drop-shadow effect, not studio lighting. Re-encoding removes metadata.

Product Image Shadow Maker in your browser

Product Image Shadow Maker adds an adjustable drop-shadow beneath or around a product photo using the HTML canvas. You control the blur (softness), distance and angle (where the shadow falls), opacity (how dark it is), and color, and the result panel records the exact settings used.

Choose Expand canvas so the canvas grows to fit the shadow and it is never clipped, or Fixed size to place the product on a canvas you set. Output can be PNG or WebP (which keep transparency when the background is Transparent), JPG, or the same format as the input, with a quality slider and an optional target file size.

This is a canvas drop-shadow effect, not a simulation of studio lighting or a physically accurate cast shadow. Animated GIFs are exported as a single still frame — animation is not preserved by this canvas tool. Re-encoding removes EXIF and other metadata.

How to use Product Image Shadow Maker

  1. Upload your product photo for the Product Image Shadow Maker — a photo on a plain or transparent background works best.
  2. Set the shadow blur, distance, angle, opacity, and color to shape the drop-shadow.
  3. Choose Expand canvas (so the shadow is not clipped) or Fixed size, then pick the output format, quality, and background.
  4. Click Process, review the shadow and canvas details in the result panel, and download the image.

Why use this tool

Full shadow control

Blur, distance, angle, opacity, and color are all adjustable, so the drop-shadow can be subtle or strong.

Never clipped

Expand canvas grows the output so the shadow always fits; Fixed size places the product on a set canvas instead.

Transparent or solid

Keep a transparent background with PNG or WebP, or composite onto a solid color for JPG.

Private by design

The shadow is rendered in your browser with the canvas; your photo is never uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Product Image Shadow Maker a real studio shadow?

No. It applies an adjustable canvas drop-shadow (blur, distance, angle, opacity, color). It does not simulate studio lighting or compute a physically accurate cast shadow, but it gives you full control over how the shadow looks.

Are my photos uploaded to a server by the Product Image Shadow Maker?

No. The shadow is rendered in your browser using the canvas, and your photo is never sent to imgtoolsbase or any server.

Will the shadow get cut off at the edges?

Not if you use Expand canvas, which grows the output so the shadow always fits. Fixed size keeps a set canvas, where a large shadow could be clipped.

Can I keep a transparent background with the shadow?

Yes. Choose PNG or WebP output and set Background to Transparent, and the shadow is rendered over transparency so you can place the result on other backgrounds.

Can I control how dark and how far the shadow is?

Yes. Opacity controls how dark the shadow is, distance and angle control how far it is offset and in which direction, and blur controls how soft it is.
