Add a Shadow to Any Photo in Seconds
Remove the background, then drop a soft shadow, a perspective ground shadow, or a mirror reflection — rendered on your device, exactly the same every time.
Free: soft drop shadow in three strengths, exports up to 1024px. Any paid plan — subscription or credit pack — unlocks ground shadows, reflections, and full-size exports.
Why add a shadow
A clean cutout floats in space. A shadow puts the product on the ground — and buyers trust what looks real.
From floating to grounded
Cutouts on plain backgrounds look pasted-on. A contact shadow anchors the product — the single biggest realism cue in product photography.
Three effects, one click each
Soft drop shadow for a gentle lift, perspective ground shadow that touches the floor like a studio shot, and a mirror reflection for glossy surfaces.
Deterministic, not AI
No model, no waiting, no surprises — the shadow is computed from your cutout's real edges on your device. Same input, same output, every time.
Real shadows, rendered by the tool
Every image below was produced by the same engine that runs above — no Photoshop, no mockups.
One perfume bottle, four treatments — the ground shadow and reflection stop the bottle from floating in space.
A chronograph and gold rings on stone — the ground shadow glues the set to the surface.
Sneakers with laces flying — the engine still finds the sole and puts the shadow under it.
