Frequently Asked Questions

Box Shadow vs Drop Shadow โ€” which CSS generator should I use and why?

Use the CSS Box Shadow Generator for element-level shadows on cards, buttons, and modals. It supports multiple shadow layers โ€” combine a tight shadow for depth with a wide blur for elevation. CSS box-shadow follows the element's border box. If you need a shadow that follows the actual shape of a transparent PNG or SVG (not its bounding box), you'd use filter: drop-shadow() โ€” but for 99% of UI work, box-shadow is what you need. The visual editor shows results in real time as you adjust offset, blur, spread, and color.

Does the CSS Clamp Generator produce responsive typography that actually works across devices?

Yes โ€” the CSS Clamp Generator creates fluid values with clamp(min, preferred, max), supported in all major browsers since 2020. You define a minimum size (mobile), a preferred viewport-based size, and a maximum cap (desktop). The live viewport simulator lets you test at different widths before copying the CSS. The output is production-ready โ€” no media queries needed for responsive sizing.

Are my PDF files uploaded to a server โ€” how does client-side PDF processing actually work?

No. All ToolStand PDF tools โ€” PDF Merge, PDF Split, Image to PDF, and PDF to Image โ€” use Mozilla's PDF.js library running entirely in your browser. Files are loaded into browser memory via the FileReader API, parsed and rendered locally, and new files are constructed in memory before triggering a download. At no point is your document transmitted to any external server. You can verify this by disconnecting your internet after the page loads โ€” the tools still work.

Color Contrast Checker โ€” what WCAG levels does it test and why does it matter?

The Color Contrast Checker tests text/background color pairs against WCAG 2.1 standards: AA compliance requires a 4.5:1 ratio for normal text and 3:1 for large text (18px+ or 14px+ bold), while AAA requires 7:1 and 4.5:1 respectively. The tool shows pass/fail for each level instantly. This matters for accessibility compliance โ€” insufficient contrast makes content unreadable for users with visual impairments and can affect SEO rankings.

Which color tool should I use โ€” Palette Generator, Color Picker, or Color Converter?

Start with the Color Palette Generator when you need a cohesive color scheme โ€” it generates complementary, analogous, triadic, and monochromatic palettes from a base color using color harmony rules. Use the Color Picker to extract a specific color from an image with the eyedropper tool. Use the Color Code Converter when you have a color in one format (HEX) and need it in another (RGB, HSL). They're designed as a workflow: palette for design, picker for extraction, converter for translation.
