Question

How do I create a circle with a cut through it using CSS and an image in it? An example of what I want is shown below.Need a crossbrowser solution and with css not html.

Answer 1

You can do this by creating the circle using a pseudo-element and then skewing the container with overflow: hidden.

The child pseudo-element is reverse skewed to make it appear as though it is not skewed at all.

.shape {
  position: relative;
  height: 100px;
  width: 120px;
  overflow: hidden;
  -webkit-transform: skew(-45deg);
  -moz-transform: skew(-45deg);
  transform: skew(-45deg);
}
.shape:after {
  position: absolute;
  content: '';
  top: 0px;
  left: 0px;
  height: 100px;
  width: 100px;
  background: black;
  border-radius: 50%;
  -webkit-transform: skew(45deg);
  -moz-transform: skew(45deg);
  transform: skew(45deg);
}

<div class="shape"></div>
