How to manually apply a drop shadow effect to images in Batch. Web App.

For each foreground layer on a batch image, you can apply a drop shadow effect. A drop shadow is a blurred, shaded outline that appears behind and to the side of the object on the layer.

An image of a shoe against a white background. The shoe has a soft shadow to one side.

Drop shadows are often used with product photos on plain backgrounds because they make the image look more three-dimensional.

Note: Drop shadows are a manual feature and give you some control over the shadow's appearance. Photoroom also has AI Shadows for auto-generating realistic shadow effects. Drop shadow settings do not affect AI Shadows.


Steps (Web App)

To apply a drop shadow:

  1. Select a foreground layer on the batch image you want to edit.

  2. Select the More actions option ( ... ) and then Drop shadow.

  3. Use the drop shadow settings to change the shadow's appearance and position:
    ​

    • Horizontal
      Use to move the shadow left and right.
      ​

    • Vertical
      Use to move the shadow up and down.
      ​

    • Intensity
      Use to change the opacity of the shadow. The more intensity the shadow has, the darker and larger it appears.
      ​

    • Blur
      Use to make the edge of the shadow appear sharper or softer.
      ​

    • Color
      Use the color selector to change the color of the shadow. For more details, see Color selectors (Web App).
      ​

  4. [Optional] To apply the same effect to other images in the batch, use Apply to all or Copy/Paste edits.
