Jotform’s Arc Text widget lets you display text in a curved or arc shape to give your form a more creative and eye-catching design. You can adjust the arc style, direction, radius, and font to match your layout and create a unique visual element.

  • Display text in a curved or arc shape.

  • Highlight headings or important text.
  • Customize text appearance with different arc settings.

Whether you’re creating a new form or updating an existing one, you can add and set up the Arc Text in a few easy steps. Here’s how to do it:
