CSS Clip-Path Generator
About CSS Clip-Path Generator
Build CSS clip-path shapes in a visual editor instead of hand-writing coordinate syntax. Choose polygon, circle, ellipse, or inset, drag the control points to shape the cutout, and copy the generated clip-path CSS into your stylesheet. Includes preset shapes like triangles, arrows, and chevrons to start from. Useful for hero-section reveals, image masks, decorative angles, and non-rectangular UI elements. Runs entirely in your browser.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is clip-path used for?
clip-path crops an element into a non-rectangular shape — diagonals, circles, polygons, or custom curves — without affecting layout. It is widely used for hero sections, image masks, and decorative UI.
Which shape functions are supported?
polygon() for custom multi-point shapes, circle() and ellipse() for rounded cuts, and inset() for rounded rectangles. Presets cover common shapes like triangles and arrows.
Does clip-path affect the box model?
No. clip-path is purely visual — it hides parts of the element without changing its size, padding, or position in the layout.
Is anything uploaded?
No. The generator runs in your browser; nothing you design leaves your device.
