Description
Affinity is an all-in-one creative design application that combines professional vector graphics, photo editing, digital illustration, and page layout capabilities within a unified desktop environment. Developed by Canva, the software provides dedicated Vector, Pixel, and Layout Studios that allow designers to move between creative disciplines without switching applications. Vector design tools include precision pen and node editing, shape building, gradients, image tracing, and advanced typography controls. Its photo editing capabilities support RAW processing, color adjustments, layer-based compositing, retouching, HDR merging, panorama stitching, and batch processing. Page layout tools enable users to create multipage publications with linked text frames, master pages, text wrapping, and print-ready output settings. Affinity supports non-destructive editing, allowing users to modify adjustments, effects, and layers while preserving original image information. The platform can import files such as PSD, AI, PDF, SVG, and IDML and provides flexible export options for digital assets and professional printing. Optional Canva AI Studio features include generative image creation, object removal, generative fill, image expansion, and AI-powered visual enhancements for users with eligible Canva premium subscriptions. Affinity is free for individual users on Windows and macOS and offers customizable workspaces, Canva integration, scripting capabilities, and enterprise deployment options.
