Frequently Asked Questions
The CSS clip-path property defines a visible region for an element, anything outside the shape is clipped (hidden). It accepts several functions: polygon() for custom multi-point shapes, circle() for round crops, ellipse() for oval shapes, and inset() for rectangular cutouts with optional rounded corners. Values are expressed as percentages, making shapes responsive by default. For example, clip-path: polygon(50% 0%, 0% 100%, 100% 100%) creates a triangle. Our generator lets you build and customize any of these shapes visually drag the handles and the correct CSS appears instantly, no manual calculation needed.
Click any shape preset in the panel. Triangle, Hexagon, Star, Pentagon, and more are ready to use immediately. The canvas updates with draggable handles so you can fine-tune each point's position. Every change generates the corresponding polygon() CSS code in real time. For a triangle, the output looks like: clip-path: polygon(50% 0%, 0% 100%, 100% 100%). For a star: clip-path: polygon(50% 0%, 61% 35%, 98% 35%, 68% 57%, ...). Copy the generated code and paste directly into your CSS file or design tool.
Each clip-path function creates a different type of clipping region. polygon() accepts any number of percentage-based coordinate pairs, making it the most flexible ideal for triangles, stars, arrows, and custom shapes. circle() clips the element into a circle defined by a radius and center point. ellipse() works like circle but with separate horizontal and vertical radii for oval shapes. inset() clips to a rectangle defined by distances from each edge, useful for creating framed or padded crop regions. Our tool supports all four types with dedicated presets and live drag-and-drop editing for each.
Yes, clip-path with the polygon(), circle(), ellipse(), and inset() functions is fully supported in all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. For older Safari versions, the -webkit-clip-path prefix was required (our generated code includes both). Internet Explorer does not support clip-path at all, but IE usage is below 1% globally and generally no longer targeted. For SVG-based clip-path, browser support is even broader. Our tool outputs both the standard clip-path and the -webkit-clip-path prefix so your shapes work across all current browsers with zero extra effort.
Section dividers where a webpage section has a slanted or angled bottom edge are one of the most popular uses of clip-path. To create a diagonal bottom edge on a section, use a polygon with 4 points where the bottom-left and bottom-right Y values differ. For example: clip-path: polygon(0 0, 100% 0, 100% 85%, 0 100%) creates a section that dips from right to left. Select the Trapezoid or Parallelogram preset in our tool, drag the bottom handles to your preferred angle, and copy the exact CSS you need. Apply it directly to your <section> element for an instant diagonal divider with no images or SVG required.
