Animating clip-path Shapes

Create dramatic reveal animations by transitioning between clip-path polygon values.

Animatable clip-path

CSS can transition and animate between two clip-path values as long as both are the same shape function with the same number of arguments. Interpolation is point by point.

Slide Reveal Animation

A classic clip-path reveal — content slides in from left:

.content {
  clip-path: polygon(0 0, 0 0, 0 100%, 0 100%);
  transition: clip-path 700ms cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1);
}

.content.visible {
  clip-path: polygon(0 0, 100% 0, 100% 100%, 0 100%);
}
