Upload a photo or a cut-out PNG and Vorla's AI casts a realistic drop shadow free online, matched to the light already in your shot. Nothing else about the image changes.
By uploading images, you agree to our Terms of Service and review our Privacy Policy.
The AI reads the direction, height, and softness of the light already in your photo, then casts the shadow away from it at a matching angle and length.
Darkest and tightest at the contact point, spreading and softening outward — the difference between a grounded shadow and a grey blob parked under the subject.
Semi-transparent and tinted toward the surface's own color rather than flat grey, so marble veining, wood grain, or studio paper still reads through it.
Add shadow to image in one click — no offset, blur, or opacity sliders to balance by hand before you can download.
No layers, no feathering, no editing experience needed.
Drag in a JPG, PNG, or WebP from your phone or desktop browser — one image per edit, up to 10 MB. Transparent PNG cut-outs work too.
Vorla works out where the light in your picture comes from, how high it sits, and how soft it is, then casts the shadow away from it and anchors it at the contact point.
Download straight from the browser, with no watermark. Your subject, background, framing, and colors come back untouched — the shadow is the only addition.
A packshot cut out to plain white hovers above the page on Amazon, Shopify, or Etsy. Add shadow to image files right after you remove the background and the product sits on the surface, with the same shadow direction across every SKU in the catalog.
The giveaway in any composite is the subject with no shadow under it. Paste your cut-out onto a lifestyle scene or a colored backdrop, add the cast shadow, and the two layers read as one photograph instead of a sticker on a wall.
Flat product tiles, YouTube thumbnails, and Instagram carousels lose their subject against a busy feed. A soft cast shadow lifts it off the background and gives the tile depth, without recoloring or recropping anything you already laid out.
Sellers, designers, and photographers on what changed after one upload.
“Every one of our cut-out packshots looked like it was hovering an inch above the listing. Now the bottles sit on the page and the shadow falls the same way across all forty SKUs, so the catalog finally looks like it was shot in one session.”
“I drop product cut-outs onto lifestyle backgrounds all day and the missing shadow was always the tell. The contact edge comes back tight and the falloff stays soft, so the composite reads as one photograph rather than two layers.”
“I shoot my ceramics on a windowsill and add the shadow afterwards on my phone between orders. Upload, a few seconds, download — and it picks up the same low afternoon light that was already in the photo.”
“Our forecourt shots get cut out to a plain backdrop for the listing, and the cars ended up looking like they were flying. The shadow under the tyres puts them back on the tarmac, and I do not have to fake one in a layer any more.”
