CSS Clipping and Masking Using masks to cut a hole in the middle of an image
Example
CSS
div {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
background: url(http://lorempixel.com/200/200/abstract/6);
mask-image: radial-gradient(circle farthest-side at center, transparent 49%, white 50%); /* check remarks before using */
}
HTML
In the above example, a transparent circle is created at the center using radial-gradient and this is then used as a mask to produce the effect of a circle being cut out from the center of an image.
