## Introduction

Arc mode draws a slice of a circle. Pill sets how much of the circle is filled, from a thin wedge to a full disc, and Start angle turns it. It is the quickest way to a semi circle or three-quarter circle photo frame.

This page is a live web demo of the arc mode of Frames Lab, a Qrdy app that runs inside Canva. The frame is drawn by the same engine as the app; the real frame is added to your design in the app.

## What is a arc frame?

Arc mode draws a slice of a circle. Pill sets how much of the circle is filled, from a thin wedge to a full disc, and Start angle turns it. It is the quickest way to a semi circle or three-quarter circle photo frame.

## What is Frames Lab?

Frames Lab is a Qrdy app for Canva: shape, burst, grid, arc and diagonal frames, live on the web. Try Frames Lab before you open Canva: shape, burst, grid, arc and diagonal frames drawn by the app's own engine, with the same sliders. Drop a photo, tweak the frame, then open Frames Lab in Canva.

## Controls

| Control | Range | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pill (sweep) | 0–360° | 270° | 360 = full circle, 180 = half |
| Start angle | 0–360° | 0° |  |
| Border weight / colour | 0–50, any colour | 0, black |  |

## Frequently Asked Questions

### How do I get a half circle?

Set Pill to 180 and Start angle to 0 for a bottom half, or 180 for a top half. 90 gives a quarter, 270 a three-quarter circle, 360 a full circle.

### Is the arc hollow or filled?

Filled, from the centre out, like a pie slice. For a ring, use Shape mode with a ring shape from the library or Frames Lab's Shape mode with a Canva ring element.
