About this tool

The CSS clip-path property lets you crop an element to a custom shape — triangles, trapezoids, stars, arrows, chevrons and arbitrary polygons — without images or masks. This generator gives you an interactive canvas where you drag control points to draw the shape you want, and it produces the clip-path CSS instantly.

Writing polygon() coordinates by hand is tedious and error-prone; dragging anchors and watching the shape update is far faster and lets you fine-tune precisely. The generated CSS clips any element to that outline, which is useful for decorative section dividers, angled cards, badges and callouts.

It runs in your browser, so you can design shapes freely and copy the result. Because clip-path affects the visible area only, remember the element still occupies its full box for layout — a detail worth keeping in mind when positioning clipped elements.

Frequently asked questions

What is CSS clip-path used for?
It crops an element to a custom shape — polygons, stars, arrows and more — directly in CSS, without needing image masks, so you can create angled sections, badges and decorative cutouts.
How does the interactive canvas help?
You drag control points to draw the shape and the tool generates the matching polygon coordinates, which is far quicker and more accurate than writing clip-path values by hand.
Does clip-path change an element’s layout size?
No. It only changes what is visible; the element still occupies its full box in the layout, so account for that when positioning surrounding content.
What shapes can I make?
Triangles, trapezoids, stars, arrows, chevrons and custom polygons — any outline you can define with control points on the canvas.
Is it private?
Yes. It runs in your browser, so nothing you create is uploaded.
