Clipping mask in illustrator is a group of layers from which a mask is applied. The innermost layer of shape or figure, describe the visible boundaries of the whole group.
For example you want to make your image in a circle so that you can add your round frame image in your CV, and for this drag any image in illustrator and use Eclipse tool from the panel on left or you can simply press L for selection of Eclipse tool and then draw the circle over your photo. Select image and circle both by pressing the Shift button and right-click, there you will find clipping mask.
You can do cropping, clipping, make profile images and covers for social media platforms etc and there is no limit to the number of shapes or art you want to be put inside as mask and that's the best feature.
