Frequently asked questions

What does clip-path do?

It crops an element to a shape such as a polygon, circle or inset, hiding everything outside the path while keeping the layout box intact.

Do clipped areas still respond to clicks?

No. Pointer events are clipped too, so only the visible shape is interactive, which is handy for non-rectangular buttons.

Can I animate a clip-path?

Yes, between shapes with the same number of points. Animating a polygon to another polygon with matching vertices produces smooth morphs.

How do percentages work in polygon()?

Each point is an x,y pair relative to the element's box, where 0% 0% is the top-left and 100% 100% is the bottom-right.

Is browser support good?

Basic shapes are widely supported in modern browsers. Test complex paths and provide a sensible unclipped fallback for older browsers.

Is any data uploaded?

No. The CSS is generated locally in your browser.
