What is the React Native Shadow Generator?

Think of the React Native Shadow Generator as your cross-platform bridge for UI depth. In the React Native ecosystem, shadows are handled differently across iOS and Android. This tool provides a unified, visual interface to craft consistent component elevation and shadows without the trial-and-error of manual coding.

Whether you are building a soft "Neumorphic" interface for iOS or following Material Design’s "Elevation" system for Android, this generator handles the platform-specific syntax for you. It allows you to visualize your design on various shapes—including hearts and circles—ensuring your mobile app feels tactile and premium on every device.

Pro Tips

iOS vs Android

iOS allows for colored shadows and fine blur control. Android primarily uses elevation which is system-locked to specific light sources.

Hierarchy

Use higher elevation/shadow values for components that sit on top, like modals or fab buttons, to guide user focus.

Reset & Refine

Stuck on a design? Use the Reset () button to return to the baseline and start fresh with a new platform.
