What Is a QR Code Shadow Adder?

This online tool adds a shadow to a QR code image. It makes the QR code look like a floating card and helps it stand out from the surrounding background. This effect visually separates the QR code from other elements on websites, digital business cards, product packaging, and other designs. In the options, adjust the horizontal and vertical offsets to choose the shadow direction. Positive values move it right or down, while negative values move it left or up. Increase the blur for a soft, diffused shadow, or reduce it for a sharper, more defined effect. Choose any shadow color to match your design, and adjust the padding to add transparent space around the completed image. You can also enable rounded corners and set individual corner radii to create a smooth, card-like shape or a more decorative design. QR-tastic!

Add a Soft Shadow to a Website QR Code

In this example, we add a subtle shadow to a classic black-and-white QR code that links to SciURLs, one of our other projects. We set both shadow offsets to zero and use a 22-pixel blur with semi-transparent black, creating a soft, even shadow on all sides. The result is a clean, slightly elevated QR code that fits perfectly on our main website.

Add a Natural Shadow to a Museum Exhibit QR Code

In this example, we enhance a QR code containing information about a Roman ceramic oil lamp. We round all four corners with a 60-pixel radius to match the code's rounded modules and add a natural-looking dark shadow with a 14-pixel horizontal offset, an 18-pixel vertical offset, and a 30-pixel blur. This creates a subtle floating effect that helps the QR code stand out on a museum display label.

Add a Bold Pink Shadow to a Photo Booth QR Code

In this example, we decorate a colorful SMS QR code that lets guests request their photo booth pictures with a prefilled message. To complement its vibrant gradient, we add a bright pink shadow with a 20-pixel offset in both directions and zero blur for a sharp, solid effect. We also round the corners with a 30-pixel radius to create an eye-catching design for a party poster.
