A hexagon-shaped element — used for profile photos, category icons, or a honeycomb-style gallery layout — is achievable cleanly with the CSS `clip-path` property, avoiding the need for an actual hexagon-shaped image asset.
Customize the hexagon's size and color with live controls, see the shape render immediately, then copy the CSS clip-path polygon needed to create the same hexagon shape on your own element, including on a background image.
Because clip-path works on any element including one with a background image, this same technique clips a profile photo into a hexagon shape rather than just producing a solid-color hexagon — swap the background property for your own image to see this in action.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use this to clip a photo into a hexagon shape instead of a solid color?
Yes, apply the same clip-path CSS to an element with a background-image (or an img element) instead of a solid background color, and the photo will be clipped into the hexagon shape.
Does the hexagon stay proportional if I resize the container?
The clip-path polygon coordinates are percentage-based, so the hexagon shape stays proportional regardless of the container's actual pixel dimensions.
