When to use it

Elevation 2 is a material box-shadow preset built for systematic elevation. It uses 2 shadow layers to create a elevation effect that is easy to copy into product cards, dashboards, marketing blocks, and small interface surfaces. A low material elevation for raised cards. The shadow is intentionally described as plain CSS, so you can paste it into any framework or convert it into a Tailwind arbitrary value without changing the visual result. The effect stays on the outside edge, so it reads as lift rather than a pressed or recessed treatment. Use it when you want a repeatable starting point, then open it in the generator to adjust offset, blur, spread, color, opacity, or stacked layers for your own layout.
