<feDropShadow>

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since January 2020.

The<feDropShadow>SVG filter primitive creates a drop shadow of the input image. It can only be used inside a<filter> element.

Note:The drop shadow color and opacity can be changed by using theflood-color andflood-opacity presentation attributes.

Like other filter primitives, it handles color components in thelinearRGBcolor space by default. You can usecolor-interpolation-filters to usesRGB instead.
