<h2 id="stroke-to-path">Stroke to path</h2>
|
||||
<p>A path is the underlying geometry: a sequence of points and segments (straight lines or Bezier curves). A stroke is the visible line drawn along that path, with properties such as width, color, opacity, dashes, caps, and joins.</p>
|
||||
<p><strong>Stroke to path</strong> turns the visible outline of a stroke into a separate, editable path. You can then reshape or style that outline independently of the original path. The new shape is usually closed. That matters for SVG, boolean operations, and editing the outline as geometry.</p>
|
||||
<p>To convert a stroke, select a layer that has one, open the layer menu, and choose <strong>Stroke to path</strong>. Penpot creates a new path from each stroke (named with " (stroke)") and removes the strokes from the original layer.</p>
