Quick answer: when should you use Shadow Generator?
Use Imagic AI Shadow Generator when you need to add a soft drop shadow behind a photo or cutout. It is best for product shots, app screenshots, and floating-card style graphics, runs in the browser workflow, and does not require signup for the core tool.
For product cutouts, I keep the shadow subtle — a strong, dark shadow reads as a graphic effect rather than a real photograph.
Which image tool should you pick?
| Job | Pick this | Why |
|---|---|---|
| product shots, app screenshots, and floating-card style graphics | Shadow Generator | It solves this job directly with the fewest settings. |
| the subject already has a natural, realistic shadow from its original background | Border Generator | That workflow changes a different property of the image. |
| Many files at once | Batch Processor | Batch mode keeps repeated work consistent and exports one ZIP. |
When does Shadow Generator fail?
- It is not the right first step when the subject already has a natural, realistic shadow from its original background.
- For production publishing, inspect the downloaded image at 100% zoom before replacing the original file.
