Clip Path Generator

This lesson is part of Web Developer Tools · All levels

Summary

Clip path generators help cut elements into specific shapes such as circles, ellipses, polygons, or round squares. You can set the coordinates and see which areas remain visible. This technique is useful for avatars, slanted headers, and decorative elements without creating additional images.

Key points

The clip-path determines the area of the element that remains visible
Circle() and ellipse() make rounded pieces
Polygon() receives the coordinate pairs x and y
Cutting elements from each side
The out-of-form part remains in the DOM but is not visible
