About React Native Shadow Generator

The React Native Shadow Generator is a tool designed to streamline the process of creating and customizing shadow styles for both iOS and Android in React Native. It provides a user-friendly interface to visualize and adjust shadow properties, ensuring that your designs look consistent across platforms.

Platform Differences

iOS uses a complete shadow API with color, offset, opacity, and radius.
Android simplifies shadows to a single elevation value (0-24dp).
The preview may look slightly different from actual mobile rendering.

Recommended Values

Light shadow: iOS (radius: 2-3, opacity: 0.2) / Android (elevation: 2-3).
Medium shadow: iOS (radius: 3-5, opacity: 0.25) / Android (elevation: 4-6).
Strong shadow: iOS (radius: 6-8, opacity: 0.35) / Android (elevation: 8-12).
