FAQ

Quick answers

How do I convert an SVG ellipse to a path?
Click Ellipse to path. cx, cy, rx, and ry become a closed d of two A arcs so the oval stays an oval.
How is ellipse-to-path different from converting a circle to a path?
Circle uses one r. Ellipse uses rx and ry. A circle element is not converted here.
Does this rewrite ellipse as cubic Béziers?
No. The path keeps A arc commands. Convert SVG Arcs to Cubic Curves if you need C segments after this pass.
Are rx and ry preserved as arc radii?
Yes. The two A commands use the same rx and ry as the ellipse, including a non-circular oval.
