CSS Clip-Path Maker

CSS Clip-Path Maker Overview

Generate CSS shapes

CSS Clip-Path Maker is an advanced visual tool that allows web designers and developers to create complex custom shapes using the CSS `clip-path` property. The `clip-path` property allows you to specify a specific region of an element to display, while hiding the rest, effectively "clipping" the image or container. This tool automates the creation of complex polygon coordinates, allowing you to visually design shapes like triangles, stars, pentagons, hexagons, and custom polygons by simply dragging points on a canvas. Instead of manually calculating percentage coordinates (e.g., `50% 0%, 100% 100%, 0% 100%`), you can see the result in real-time. The tool supports standard shapes and fully custom polygons, generating cross-browser compatible CSS code instantly. It is perfect for creating creative image masks, unique button shapes, separating sections with diagonal lines, and modern web design layouts without relying on heavy PNGs or SVGs. The generator provides both the standard `clip-path` property and the `-webkit-clip-path` vendor prefix to ensure maximum compatibility across all major browsers including Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge.

How to Use CSS Clip-Path Maker

Frequently Asked Questions

What is CSS clip-path?
The `clip-path` CSS property creates a clipping region that sets what part of an element should be shown. Parts that are inside the region are shown, while those outside are hidden.
Why use clip-path instead of PNGs?
CSS clip-path is much lighter and more performant than using large PNG images with transparency. It is also fully responsive and non-destructive, meaning you can change the shape via CSS without editing the original image.
Does this work in all browsers?
Yes, `clip-path` has excellent support in all modern browsers. Our tool also generates the `-webkit-clip-path` prefix to ensure support for older versions of Safari and Chrome.
Can I animate the clip-path?
Yes! Clip-path coordinates are animatable. You can use CSS transitions or keyframes to morph between shapes, provided they have the same number of points (vertices).
How do I center the shape?
The coordinates are based on percentages of the element's box. Using `50%` usually refers to the center of the X or Y axis. Our presets are automatically centered for you.
