Frequently Asked Questions

What is the CSS clip-path property?
The clip-path property allows you to specify a clipping region (a mask boundary) for an HTML element. Only the portion of the element inside this region remains visible.
What shapes does this Clip Path Generator support?
The tool supports all standard CSS clip-path shapes: polygon (triangles, hexagons, stars), circle, ellipse, and inset.
How is a triangle created with clip-path?
A triangle is created using polygon(50% 0%, 0% 100%, 100% 100%), defining three coordinate vertices: top-center, bottom-left, and bottom-right.
Do all web browsers support clip-path?
Modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari) support clip-path. To ensure compatibility with older WebKit versions, the tool outputs prefix forms (-webkit-clip-path).
Can I clip images and videos using this property?
Yes, clip-path can be applied to any block or inline HTML element, including images, video containers, and standard text blocks.
How do I create custom freeform clip paths?
You can select the polygon shape option and adjust coordinate points to create custom shapes. For complex vectors, SVG paths can also be loaded.
What is the syntax for circular clip paths?
Circular clip paths use circle(radius at x-coordinate y-coordinate), such as circle(50% at 50% 50%) to clip an element into a perfect circle.
Are clipped areas clickable on the webpage?
No, clipped parts outside the shape do not trigger hover states, clicks, or pointer events, making clip-path great for interactive shapes.
Is this Clip Path Generator free?
Yes, it is 100% free to use for visual shape design with no attribution requirements.
Does this shape tool store my image content?
No, the image rendering and coordinates are processed locally. No asset data is uploaded, keeping your layouts confidential.
