Clip-Path Generator

clip-path defines an element’s visible area, clipping anything outside the shape. It lets you create custom shapes without PNG masks, such as angled sections, circular avatars, and decorative blocks. It works with any HTML element and images.

Four basic functions: circle() for a circle, ellipse() for an ellipse, inset() for an inset rectangle with rounded corners, and polygon() for an arbitrary polygon. path() for SVG paths and url() for a link to an SVG clipPath are also supported.

clip-path can be animated with transition and @keyframes if the start and end shapes use the same function with the same number of points. For example, a polygon with 4 points can smoothly transition to another polygon with 4 points. Use GSAP or the Web Animations API for complex transitions.

clip-path visually hides pixels, but the element keeps its dimensions in the document flow. By default, clicks outside the clipped area can still register. Add pointer-events: none to clipped areas if you need to disable interaction.

Basic shapes (circle, ellipse, inset, polygon) are supported in all modern browsers. For Safari and older versions of Chrome, add -webkit-clip-path. The path() function has limited support — check Can I Use for your target audience.
