Arc Plugin

Overview

Arc is a handy Figma plugin that lets designers fold and bend text into circular or custom curved shapes. It adds a fresh creative dimension to typographic design, right inside Figma, without exporting to another tool. For anyone who has ever wanted curved lettering around a badge, a logo or a UI element, Arc turns it into a couple of clicks instead of a fiddly manual job.

Here is how to curve text in Figma with Arc:

How it works

Arc is designed to be powerful yet simple. You select your text layer in Figma, apply the Arc plugin, then adjust the parameters to curve the text exactly as you want, from a gentle arc to a full circle. The bend updates live as you tweak the controls, so you can dial in the effect visually. Because it runs natively in Figma, the curved text stays part of your design file and your usual workflow.

Features

• Curved and circular text: bend type along an arc or a full circle.
• Live controls: adjust the curve visually with instant feedback.
• Native Figma integration: works inside your existing files and workflow.
• Simple interface: intuitive enough to use without a learning curve.

Use cases

Arc suits a wide range of design projects. Graphic designers use it to craft distinctive logos and brand marks. Web and app designers add curved text as an eye-catching detail in their interfaces. Advertisers and content creators lean on it to make visuals more dynamic, whether for badges, stamps, posters or social media graphics. Any time a project calls for typography that follows a curve, Arc is a quick way to get there.

Advantages

• Intuitive and easy to use.
• Native integration with Figma.
• A fast way to create an effect that is tedious to do by hand.

Drawbacks

• The free version is a trial; unlimited text editing requires a small paid plan (around 2 euros per month).
• It covers one specific effect rather than a broad feature set.

Arc pricing

Arc is a low-cost Figma plugin rather than a full product (check current pricing on the Figma Community page and the plugin's own site, as it can change):

• Free trial: you can try Arc and curve text with some limits at no cost.
• Paid plan: unlimited text editing is unlocked with a small subscription, in the region of a couple of euros per month.

Prices are indicative and can vary with currency and updates. Always verify the latest pricing on the plugin's official page before you subscribe.

Arc alternatives

If Arc is not the right fit, other options can curve or warp text in a design tool:

• Curved Text, another Figma plugin focused on arcing type.
• Text on Path, for placing text along a custom vector path.
• Warp or Text Warp plugins, for broader distortion effects.
• Native tools in apps like Illustrator, which offer type on a path.

Arc wins on simplicity and speed for circular text inside Figma, while path-based tools give more control over complex shapes. For most badges and logos in a Figma workflow, Arc is the quickest route.

Arc with Webflow and no-code

Arc fits into a design-to-Webflow workflow as a small but useful step. You curve text in Figma with Arc for a logo, badge or hero visual, export it as an image or SVG, then bring it into your Webflow site as part of the brand. It keeps distinctive typography consistent from design to the live page. As a Webflow agency, we take designs like these from Figma into production and cover the craft through our UI and UX design service.
