GoKawiilAffinity by Canva is a new unified app that combines the former Affinity Photo, Designer, and Publisher applications into a single platform.
Affinity gives you advanced photo editing, graphic design, and page layout tools under one roof. It includes highly requested features such as Image Trace, ePub support, mesh gradients, hatch fills, live glitch filter, as well as custom capabilities that allow you to rearrange panels and combine tools to build your own unique studios.
Affinity is free to use with a Canva account, but certain generative AI features require a Canva Pro subscription, for example Generative Fill, Generative Expand, Generate Image/Vector, and more.
Is Affinity really free?
Yes, Affinity is free. You can use every tool in the Pixel, Vector, and Layout studios, plus all of the customization and export features, as much as you want, with no restrictions or payment needed. The app will also receive free updates with new features and improvements added.
Will I be able to open and edit the files I made in Affinity V1 and V2 in the new Affinity app?
Yes, the new desktop version of Affinity can open all files created in Affinity V2 or V1 apps. However, Affinity V1 and V2 cannot open files that are created or saved in the newer app, Affinity by Canva.
Can I import my Adobe files into Affinity?
Yes, it's easy to import PSDs, AIs, IDMLs, DWGs, and other file types into Affinity, with structure, layers, and creative intent preserved.
