Getting Started

The Clip-Path Generator is an advanced web-based tool that enables designers and developers to create complex clipping shapes without memorizing CSS syntax. With real-time preview, extensive preset library, and multi-format code export, you can quickly generate professional clip-path effects for your web projects.

Quick Start Steps:

  1. Select Shape Type - Choose from polygon, circle, ellipse, or inset
  2. Drag Control Points - Click and drag points on the visual editor canvas
  3. Fine-tune Values - Use sliders or enter exact percentages for precision
  4. Preview - Test with sample images or your own uploads
  5. Export - Copy or download code in your preferred format

Tip: Start with a preset to quickly get the shape you need, then customize it further in the visual editor.

Visual Editor

The visual editor provides an interactive canvas where you can create and modify clip-path shapes by dragging control points. Changes are reflected in real-time.

Drag Control Points

Click and drag any control point on the canvas to reposition it. The clip-path updates instantly as you drag.

Add/Remove Points

Use the Add button to add new control points. Click the remove button to delete selected points (minimum 3 required for polygons).

Numeric Input

Fine-tune point positions using sliders or enter exact percentage values for precise control.

Editor Controls:

  • Shape Type Selector - Switch between polygon, circle, ellipse, and inset
  • Visual Canvas - Interactive SVG area for dragging points
  • Point List - Individual controls for each control point
  • Reset Button - Return to the default rectangle shape
  • Shape Name - Custom naming for generated CSS classes

Shape Types

The tool supports four types of clip-path shapes, each with different parameters and use cases.

Polygon

The most versatile clip-path type using a series of connected points. Points are defined as percentage coordinates.

clip-path: polygon(50% 0%, 100% 100%, 0% 100%);

Usage: Perfect for creating custom shapes like stars, arrows, polygons, and organic shapes.

Circle

Creates circular clipping regions with a radius and center position.

clip-path: circle(50% at 50% 50%);

Parameters: radius (e.g., 50%) and center position (at x y).

Ellipse

Creates elliptical clipping regions with separate horizontal and vertical radii.

clip-path: ellipse(50% 30% at 50% 50%);

Parameters: radiusX, radiusY, and center position.

Inset

Creates rectangular shapes with inset values from each edge. Can optionally include border-radius values.

clip-path: inset(10px 20px 30px 40px);

Parameters: top, right, bottom, left distances (clockwise from top).

Presets Library

The presets library provides pre-made clip-path configurations that you can apply instantly. Browse through categorized presets or search for specific shapes.

Basic Shapes

Rectangle, Triangle, Pentagon, Hexagon, Octagon, Circle - fundamental geometric shapes for any project.

Creative Shapes

Star, Heart, Diamond, Arrow, Speech Bubble, Cross - decorative shapes for icons and graphics.

Modern Designs

Blob 1, Blob 2, Wave, Chevron, Parallelogram, Trapezoid - contemporary shapes for modern UI.

How to Use Presets:

  1. Switch to the "Presets" tab in the editor panel
  2. Browse categories or use the search bar to find shapes
  3. Click any preset to apply it to your design
  4. Customize the preset further using the visual editor

Live Preview

The preview panel shows your clip-path applied to various backgrounds, helping you visualize how the shape will look in different contexts.

Image Preview

Test clip-paths with sample images, upload your own images, or enter image URLs for testing.

Color Preview

Visualize shapes with gradient backgrounds to see how they blend with different color schemes.

Animation Preview: The preview panel includes an animation preview option to see how clip-paths animate with smooth transitions.

Code Export

Export your clip-path in multiple formats to fit your project's technology stack. Copy code with one click or download as a file.

CSS

Vanilla CSS and Tailwind CSS support with optional vendor prefixes.

SCSS

Mixin-based output for modular styling in SCSS projects.

React

JSX style objects for React component styling.

HTML

Complete HTML templates with embedded styles.

SVG

SVG clip-path definitions for use in SVG graphics.

Quick Copy

One-click copying of clip-path values and CSS properties.

Export Options:

  • Vendor Prefixes - Include -webkit- prefix for Safari and older browsers
  • Animation - Add smooth transition effects to the output
  • Download - Save code as a file for later use

Browser Compatibility

The clip-path property has good browser support, though older browsers may require the -webkit- prefix. Enable vendor prefixes in the export options for maximum compatibility.

Code Examples

Here are examples of how to use the generated clip-path code in different contexts.

Basic CSS Usage

.custom-shape {
  width: 300px;
  height: 300px;
  background: linear-gradient(135deg, #667eea 0%, #764ba2 100%);
  clip-path: polygon(50% 0%, 100% 100%, 0% 100%);
}

Tailwind CSS Usage

<div class="[clip-path:polygon(50%_0%,100%_100%,0%_100%)]">
  {/* Your content */}
</div>

React Component

const StarShape = {
  clipPath: 'polygon(50% 0%, 61% 35%, 98% 35%, 68% 57%, 79% 91%, 50% 70%, 21% 91%, 32% 57%, 2% 35%, 39% 35%)'
};

<div style={StarShape}>
  {/* Your content */}
</div>

SCSS Mixin

@mixin star-clip {
  -webkit-clip-path: polygon(50% 0%, 61% 35%, 98% 35%, 68% 57%, 79% 91%, 50% 70%, 21% 91%, 32% 57%, 2% 35%, 39% 35%);
  clip-path: polygon(50% 0%, 61% 35%, 98% 35%, 68% 57%, 79% 91%, 50% 70%, 21% 91%, 32% 57%, 2% 35%, 39% 35%);
}

.star-shape {
  @include star-clip;
}

Animated Clip-Path

.animated-shape {
  transition: clip-path 0.3s ease-in-out;
}

.animated-shape:hover {
  clip-path: polygon(50% 0%, 100% 50%, 50% 100%, 0% 50%);
}
