How it works
The app handles the full design workflow: sketching, vector drawing, typography, and export for print and web. It supports PSD, AI, SVG, and PDF files, so it fits into teams that also use Adobe tools, and it runs natively on Mac and Windows with a fast, responsive interface.
Affinity is now completely free, with no subscription and no feature limits on the core tools. The only paid layer is Canva's AI toolkit, available through Canva Pro at $144 per year, which adds generative fill, background removal, and similar features. For pure vector design, the free app is the whole product.
