About the Clip Path Generator

clip-path cuts an element to a shape, showing only what falls inside it. Drag the points of a polygon and the shape updates live over a real image, so you can see exactly what is kept and what is cut away.

All four basic shape functions are covered. polygon() takes any number of points and is what the diagonal section dividers everywhere are made of. circle() and ellipse() take a radius and a position. inset() cuts a rectangle in from each edge and accepts its own corner radii. Presets include the shapes people actually build — triangles, chevrons, arrows, stars, message bubbles and diagonal cuts — and every one stays editable after you apply it.

Key features of the Clip Path Generator

Draggable points

Every polygon point can be moved, added or removed, with the CSS updating as you drag.

All four shape functions

polygon, circle, ellipse and inset — the last with its own corner radii.

Previewed over an image

A shape is only judgeable against real content, so the preview clips a photograph rather than a coloured box.

Percentages by default

So the shape scales with the element and survives a responsive layout.

Editable presets

Triangles, chevrons, arrows, stars, message bubbles and diagonal cuts, all adjustable after you apply them.

How to use the Clip Path Generator

  1. 1

    Pick a shape function

    Polygon, circle, ellipse or inset — or start from a preset.

  2. 2

    Drag the points

    Each point is draggable, and points can be added or removed.

  3. 3

    Check the preview

    The shape is applied to a real image, so the cut is visible.

  4. 4

    Copy the CSS

    The clip-path declaration, with percentages that scale with the element.

Frequently asked questions

No. The element keeps its full size in the layout and the clipped-away parts are simply not painted. That also means the invisible area is genuinely gone — it cannot be clicked.
