Overview
- The new “Affinity by Canva” combines Designer, Photo, and Publisher into a single app available today for Windows and macOS.
- A free Canva account is required to use the software, and an iPad version is planned for a later release.
- Generative tools such as fill, background removal, and instant copy are available inside Affinity to Canva Premium subscribers, with plans reported at about $120 per year.
- Affinity now uses one universal file type and can export projects directly to Canva, and users can customize workspaces and mix Vector, Pixel, and Layout tools.
- Owners of the older V2 apps can keep using them, but sales have ended and the companies have not clarified whether support updates will continue.
