The background-clip property in CSS is a powerful tool that dictates how a background (be it color or image) extends within an element. It’s all about controlling the reach of your background.
Syntax:
background-clip: border-box|padding-box|content-box|text|initial|inherit;
Property value:Â
- border-box: The border-box property is used to set the background color spread over the whole division.
- padding-box: The padding-box property is used to set the background inside the border.
- content-box: The content-box property is used to set the background color up to the content only.
- initial: It is the default value. It is used to set the background color spread over the whole division.
Example: In this example, we are using the background-clip: border-box property.
