I have a raster file and want to clip it, but I'm getting this error:
"ERROR: Cutline not of polygon type"
what does this error mean and how can I resolve it?

Can you add a screenshot, or share the polygon layer? The error message suggests it is not closed, or self-intersecting.– AndreJAug 7, 2014 at 5:30

1I'm having the same issue. I verified both layers have the same projection info. Did you find another solution or possible cause?– e.tamDec 4, 2020 at 23:34

Please see this post.
Receiving GDAL Clipper Error from QGIS?
1) One of the layers is missing projection information. Post both your layers so we can take a look.
2) A polygon that has some issues such as self intersecting (unlikely). It is almost always one. You need to project or project both layers into a common format.

Is your polygon and raster in the same projection? If not, try projecting to a common projection, as mentioned here:
