Here, to make it a bit more interesting, there’s a clipping effect when switching images. See the Pen Silhouette zoom slideshow by Mikael Ainalem ( on CodePen.Ī “regular” slideshow cycles though images. Take The Silhouette Slideshow demo on CodePen: This is what the SVG clipping support looks like:Ī neat use case for clipping is transition effects. Most bugs are fixed by now (or at least one hope they are).


Support is good all the way back to old IE browsers. The good thing about SVG clipping compared to CSS is its maturity level. The SVG clipping syntax is quite different, but it works the same. As it happens, the concept of clipping exists in both CSS and SVG. What works in one may work in the other and vice versa. The feature set of CSS and SVG sometimes overlap. One thing we can do to overcome inconsistencies is use alternative technologies. We, as developers, can’t control what browsers support - browser vendors are the ones who implement the spec and different vendors will have different agendas. Not having 100% browser coverage means different experiences for viewers in different browsers.

One of the biggest drawbacks of CSS clipping, at the time of writing, is browser support.

We’re going to take things a step further in this post and look at different examples, discuss alternative techniques, and consider how to approach our work to be cross-browser compatible. We looked at some ideas to exemplify what we can do with clipping. Last time around, we dug into the fundamentals of clipping and how to get started. This is a follow up to my previous post looking into clip paths.
