This is an experimental technology
Because this technology's specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for usage in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future versions of browsers as the specification changes.

Summary

The mask-origin CSS property determines the origin of a mask.

For elements rendered as a single box, this property specifies the mask positioning area. In other words, this property specifies the origin position of an image specified by the mask-image CSS property. For elements rendered as multiple boxes, such as inline boxes on several lines or boxes on several pages, it specifies which boxes box-decoration-break operates upon to determine the mask positioning area.

border
Same as border-box.

Formal syntax

<geometry-box>#

where
<geometry-box> = <shape-box> | fill-box | stroke-box | view-box

where
<shape-box> = <box> | margin-box

where
