Shape Your World with CSS Clip Path Generator
The **CSS Clip Path Generator** allows you to hide specific parts of an element, effectively cutting it into a custom shape. unlike `border-radius`, which is restricted to rounded corners, `clip-path` allows for triangles, stars, and complex irregular polygons. It works by defining a path (like a cookie cutter) relative to the element's bounding box.
How Clipping Works
The `clip-path` property creates a visible region. Everything inside the points you define is shown; everything outside is hidden. This performance-friendly method doesn't affect the document flow or layout, meaning text will wrap as if the box was still square, but the visual result is a unique shape.
Creative Uses
- Hero Images: Create slanted or diagonal headers to break the "boxy" web layout.
- Galleries: Display images in hexagons or diamonds for a honeycomb effect.
- Animations: Animate the clip-path points to morph shapes (e.g., turning a hamburger menu icon into an 'X').
How to Use
- Select a preset shape (Trapezoid, Triangle, Hexagon).
- Drag the points on the grid to fine-tune the geometry.
- Switch to 'Custom Polygon' to add more points.
- Copy the CSS rule.
