CSS Clip-Path Generator

CSS clip-path clips an element to a shape, hiding anything outside that shape. It's GPU-accelerated and can be animated. Common values are polygon() for custom shapes, circle() and ellipse() for round crops, and inset() for rectangular clipping with optional rounded corners.

Use polygon() with three points: clip-path: polygon(50% 0%, 100% 100%, 0% 100%) creates an upward triangle. Each pair of values is an X Y coordinate as a percentage of the element's width and height.

Yes — clip-path is GPU-accelerated and transitions smoothly between shapes with the same number of points. Add transition: clip-path 0.4s ease to your element, then change the clip-path value on hover or with JavaScript to reveal/hide content smoothly.

overflow: hidden only clips to a rectangle. clip-path can clip to any shape including triangles, stars, polygons, circles, and custom curves. clip-path is also GPU-accelerated, so animations are smoother. Use overflow for simple rectangular clipping and clip-path for anything else.

clip-path is supported in all modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge). The -webkit-clip-path prefix is still needed for some older Safari versions. Internet Explorer does not support clip-path. This generator outputs both prefixed and non-prefixed versions for maximum compatibility.

Apply clip-path: polygon(0 0, 100% 0, 100% 85%, 0 100%) to a section element. This creates a diagonal bottom edge. Combine with a matching section below to create a seamless slanted divider effect. Use negative margin to close any gap.
