Frequently Asked Questions
Is CSS path() supported in browsers?
Yes, CSS clip-path: path(...) is supported in Chromium, Firefox, and Safari 13.1+.
Why use clip-path instead of an SVG overlay?
clip-path allows the element's hover states, borders, and backdrop filters to conform to the custom shape without extra DOM nodes.
