What is a Clip Path in CSS?

The clip-path CSS property creates a clipping region that defines what part of an element should be visible.

Why Use a CSS Clip Path?

It allows you to create non-rectangular geometric layouts, polygons, stars, and diagonals on banners, cards, and photos.

It crops the element based on coordinate nodes. Standard shapes include polygon(), circle(), and inset().
