How to Use Add Shadow to Image
Create the image shadow by starting with the source asset, then guide the lighting and output requirements before checking the generated result.
Guide the image shadow
Add prompt detail for lighting angle, softness, opacity feel, subject position, and scene context when you need to add realistic shadow to photo edits.
Finish the image output
Choose the destination format and inspect the result for grounding, crop, and important visual details.
Add Shadow to Image Controls
Control how the image shadow should feel, where it should sit, and how the finished asset should be prepared for its destination.
Image shadow direction
Describe whether the shadow should be soft, sharp, subtle, angled, or studio-like so the edit follows the intended lighting mood.
Source-aware image guidance
Use context about the subject and setting to add realistic shadow to photo edits without losing the purpose of the original scene.
Destination-ready image output
Prepare a drop shadow on product image assets for catalog, ad, landing page, or social layouts where depth and separation matter.

Image brief fit
Compare the output with the brief, including shadow direction, subject placement, mood, and whether the edit supports the intended message.
Image detail check
Inspect edges, contact points, reflections, and small details so the shadow appears grounded rather than floating or detached.

Add Shadow to Image Limitations

Image result variation limits
Lighting, edge softness, and exact shadow placement may differ between attempts, especially when the source scene has complex surfaces or unclear light cues.
