Clip elements into any shape
The CSS clip-path property hides everything outside a shape you define, letting you cut an element into a polygon, a circle or a complex custom form. This maker lets you build that shape visually by placing points and gives you the clip-path value, so you can crop images and elements into non-rectangular shapes without ever touching an image editor. The source asset stays untouched while the shape lives entirely in your CSS.
Why clip-path beats cropping the image
Cropping an image in an editor bakes the shape permanently into the file; clip-path applies the shape in CSS instead, so the same untouched image can be cut differently in different contexts and the original always stays intact. It also works on any element, not just images, and the shape stays fully responsive as the element resizes. Defining a polygon by typing out coordinate pairs by hand is painful and error-prone, which is exactly why a visual maker matters so much here.
Copy the clip-path value
It runs entirely in your browser, so nothing you enter is uploaded and the generated code is yours to paste straight into a project. Because it works client-side, you can iterate freely, regenerating as often as you like without a round trip to any server.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does clip-path do?
It hides everything outside a shape you define, cutting an element into a polygon, circle or other form without altering the underlying asset.
Why not just crop the image?
Because clip-path applies in CSS, so the source image stays intact and can be shaped differently in different contexts, and it works on any element, not only images.
Why build the shape visually?
Because defining a polygon by typing coordinate pairs is slow and error-prone. Placing points and reading off the value is far quicker.
Does the shape stay responsive?
Yes. Using percentage coordinates, the clip adapts as the element resizes, unlike a fixed cropped image.
Is my work uploaded?
No. The maker runs entirely in your browser.
