CSS Clip Path Generator

Design a CSS clip-path to crop elements into custom shapes, and copy the code.

Cutting elements into shapes

A CSS clip-path crops an element to a shape — a polygon, circle, or custom outline — so you can make non-rectangular designs without image editing. This lets you draw the clipping shape visually and copies the code, so you can create angled sections, hexagons and custom cuts precisely.

Draw or adjust the shape and copy the clip-path CSS.

Shapes in a rectangular medium

The web is built from rectangles, so clip-path is how you escape them — diagonal section dividers, circular avatars, angled image cuts, hexagonal grids. Because it clips the actual element rather than using an image, the content inside stays live and responsive. A couple of practical notes: what gets clipped is hidden, not resized, so plan the shape around your content; and very complex shapes can be fiddly to make responsive across screen sizes. Drawing the path visually, rather than writing polygon coordinates by hand, is what makes clip-path genuinely usable, since hand-writing the points is where it becomes tedious and error-prone.

Frequently asked questions

What is clip-path used for?

Cropping elements into non-rectangular shapes — diagonal dividers, circles, hexagons, angled image cuts — without image editing.

Does the clipped content stay live?

Yes — it clips the actual element, so the content inside stays real and responsive; the clipped-away part is hidden, not removed.

Is anything uploaded?
