# Clip Raster Images [GstarCAD 2021](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2021/Index.md) → [User Guide](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2021/User%20Guide/(User%20Guide).md) → [Raster Images](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2021/User%20Guide/Raster%20Images/(Raster%20Images).md) With the help of a polygonal clipping boundary, you can clip the display of a raster image in a drawing. Clipping an image, makes only parts of the image visible and you can increase redrawing speed using it. The clipping boundary can be a rectangle or a two-dimensional (2D) polygon with vertices within the boundaries of the image. ![](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2021/assets/GCAD_GUG/GCAD_GUG/pic/Clip%20raster%20images.jpg) --- ## Other versions with matching text [GstarCAD 8 (2013–2014)](../../../2013/User%20Guide/Raster%20Images/Clip%20Raster%20Images--0061b8c8b29b.md) · [GstarCAD 2015](../../../2015/User%20Guide/Raster%20Images/Clip%20Raster%20Images--0061b8c8b29b.md) · [GstarCAD 2016](../../../2016/User%20Guide/Raster%20Images/Clip%20Raster%20Images--0061b8c8b29b.md) · [GstarCAD 2017](../../../2017/User%20Guide/Raster%20Images/Clip%20Raster%20Images--0061b8c8b29b.md) · [GstarCAD 2018](../../../2018/User%20Guide/Raster%20Images/Clip%20Raster%20Images--0061b8c8b29b.md) · [GstarCAD 2019](../../../2019/User%20Guide/Raster%20Images/Clip%20Raster%20Images--0061b8c8b29b.md) · [GstarCAD 2020](../../../2020/User%20Guide/Raster%20Images/Clip%20Raster%20Images--0061b8c8b29b.md)
