CSS Why Clip-path?

The clip-path property creates a clipping region that sets what part of an element should be shown. Parts that are inside the region are shown, while those outside are hidden.

This tool generates polygon() values, which are the most flexible of the basic shapes. You can use these to create unique layouts, non-rectangular headers, and creative image masks without using PNGs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What browsers support CSS clip-path?

CSS clip-path is supported in all modern browsers: Chrome 55+, Firefox 54+, Safari 9.1+, and Edge 79+. For older browsers, consider using SVG clip-path as a fallback or simply letting the shape degrade gracefully to a rectangle.

Should I use clip-path or SVG for complex shapes?

CSS clip-path is best for simple, static shapes and has better performance. Use inline SVG paths for more complex shapes with curves, or when you need IE11 support. CSS clip-path is easier to animate with CSS transitions.

Can I make responsive clip-path shapes?

Yes! Use percentage values instead of pixels for your clip-path coordinates. This ensures the shape scales proportionally with the element size. You can also adjust clip-path values at different breakpoints using media queries.
