Although the accepted answer is great and it works as it should  I ve modified it to split offSet  CGSize to offsetX  CGFloat and offsetY  CGFloat   extension UIView     func dropShadow offsetX  CGFloat  offsetY  CGFloat  color  UIColor  opacity  Float  radius  CGFloat  scale  Bool   true        layer masksToBounds   false     layer shadowOffset   CGSize width  offsetX  height  offsetY      layer shadowColor   color cgColor     layer shadowOpacity   opacity     layer shadowRadius   radius     layer shadowPath   UIBezierPath rect  self bounds  cgPath     layer shouldRasterize   true     layer rasterizationScale   scale   UIScreen main scale   1

If you want to use it as a IBInspectable property for your views you can add this extension  import UIKit  extension UIView        private static var  addShadow Bool   false       IBInspectable var addShadow Bool           get               return UIView  addShadow                   set newValue                if newValue    true                   layer masksToBounds   false                 layer shadowColor   UIColor black cgColor                 layer shadowOpacity   0 075                 layer shadowOffset   CGSize width  0  height  -3                  layer shadowRadius   1                  layer shadowPath   UIBezierPath rect  bounds  cgPath                 layer shouldRasterize   true                 layer rasterizationScale    UIScreen main scale
