How to display just a portion of an image in HTML and CSS?
To display just a portion of an image in HTML and CSS, we set the clip-path property.
For instance, we write
<div class="container">
<img id="control" src="http://lorempixel.com/150/150/people/1" />
</div>
<div class="container">
<img id="rectangular" src="http://lorempixel.com/150/150/people/1" />
</div>
<div class="container">
<img id="circle" src="http://lorempixel.com/150/150/people/1" />
</div>
<div class="container">
<img id="ellipse" src="http://lorempixel.com/150/150/people/1" />
</div>
<div class="container">
<img id="polygon" src="http://lorempixel.com/150/150/people/1" />
</div>
to add some images.
Then we write
div.container {
display: inline-block;
}
#rectangular {
-webkit-clip-path: inset(30px 10px 30px 10px);
clip-path: inset(30px 10px 30px 10px);
}
#circle {
-webkit-clip-path: circle(75px at 50% 50%);
clip-path: circle(75px at 50% 50%);
}
#ellipse {
-webkit-clip-path: ellipse(75px 50px at 50% 50%);
clip-path: ellipse(75px 50px at 50% 50%);
}
#polygon {
-webkit-clip-path: polygon(50% 0, 100% 38%, 81% 100%, 19% 100%, 0 38%);
clip-path: polygon(50% 0, 100% 38%, 81% 100%, 19% 100%, 0 38%);
}
to set the clip-path for each image.
We can set it to show parts of the image what the shape of the image set by the clip-path value.
Conclusion
To display just a portion of an image in HTML and CSS, we set the clip-path property.
