FAQ

  1. What is a CSS clip-path and how does it work?

    CSS clip-path defines a clipping region that determines which parts of an element are visible. Anything outside the clip-path shape is hidden. It supports basic shapes (circle, ellipse, inset, polygon) and SVG path definitions. Unlike overflow:hidden which only clips to rectangular bounds, clip-path can create complex non-rectangular visible areas for creative layouts and visual effects.

  2. What is the difference between clip-path and mask in CSS?

    Clip-path creates a hard edge — pixels are either fully visible or fully hidden based on whether they fall inside the defined shape. CSS mask uses an image or gradient to control transparency, allowing soft edges and partial transparency. Clip-path is simpler and more performant for geometric shapes, while masks offer more artistic control with gradients and alpha channels.

  3. How do CSS polygon coordinates work?

    Polygon coordinates in clip-path use percentage or length values relative to the element's bounding box. Each point is defined as an x,y pair where 0% 0% is the top-left corner and 100% 100% is the bottom-right. Points are connected in order to form the shape. For example, polygon(50% 0%, 100% 100%, 0% 100%) creates a triangle. The shape automatically closes by connecting the last point back to the first.
