CSS Gradient
cssgradient.io
Builds a linear or radial gradient and hands you the CSS to paste
shadows.brumm.af
Stacks several box-shadows into one that looks like real light.
A single CSS box-shadow always reads as a smudge; this layers five or six of them along an easing curve so the falloff behaves like an actual shadow. You set the distance, blur, alpha and easing function and copy the resulting CSS. That is the entire tool, and it does that one thing better than any preset library.
AltFTool does this too
