Shapes in GIMP - Dunham - 10-10-2025

Hello!
Is there a platform where I can get ready-made shapes for GIMP? Example: triangle, star, irregular shapes.

A plugin for gimp 3 : https://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=21708

3 places I can see in gimp 3.0.4
"Filters - Render - Gfig" You can make Rectangles, circles, ovals, arcs, polygons, stars or spirals. NOTE: this is very old and may crash.
"Filters - Render - Fun" Circles, Squares or Diamond
Also in "Filters - Render AI GEGL" Circles, Squares, Diamonds, Hexagons, Octagons and Decagons

With Gfig you can stroke and fill with colour of choice. You have a choice of how many sides for you polygons or how many points for your stars.


They are done with paths. I did a quick one for you

Oops forgot the spiral and had trouble with the arcs this time
Just to show you can change polygons and stars I did a couple of each this time
