Can a spline be converted to a polygon?

Can a spline be converted to a polygon?

I was going to ask this, but I think I just found a way.

I wanted a red starburst like this:


and was looking for a way to make this as a polygon.

After searching for a way to convert and giving up, I added an extruder, and set the depth to be very minimal and that seemed to do the trick.

Posting here in case anyone else has this question.

Polyplane will create a polygonal object out of a spline.
The topology isn't ideal however.

Another quick way is using the disc object and scale an every-other-point-selection till it meets the starburst shape:
