Built for your workflow
Thousands of designers around the world told us how they need their graphic design app to behave. We put that knowledge at the core of Affinity Designer.
Timesaving functions
The UI has been created to give you the best user experience possible so you can spend more time creating. Timesaving tools such as Select Same and Select Object allow you to efficiently match attributes or select all objects of a certain type for easy editing, while studio presets for the UI layout allow you to save your favourite workspace setups for different tasks and easily switch between them.
Any device, anywhere
Whether on Windows, Mac or iPad, the file format is exactly the same. This gives complete freedom to seamlessly work across your (or your team's) different devices with the same file.
Colour control
Work in RGB or LAB colour spaces - even up to 32-bits per channel. Plus if you're designing for print, pantone support, end-to-end CMYK and ICC colour management are built in as standard.
Rock solid vector tools
Affinity Designer is full of tools meticulously developed for achieving high productivity, while maintaining 100 percent accurate geometry.
Comprehensive vector toolset
The best pen & node tool available
Pencil and brush stabilisation
Non-destructive Boolean operations
Powerful contour tool
Effortlessly add a contour to any object or increase the width of single open curves. It's an easy way to create abstract shapes or an offset path - great for various architectural purposes or for making a logo or print file for a sticker.
Advanced grids and guides
The options you have for setting up grids and guides is almost unlimited. Whether it's a standard grid pattern, or full isometric with multiple planes, you have full control over spacing, sub-divisions, gutters, angles and more.
Column and page guides
Isometric grids and planes
Auto-alignment tools
Pixel snapping and alignment
One million+ percent zoom
This is what we mean by power. From the beginning we developed our engine to work to floating point accuracy. What does this mean? 1,000,000% zoom!
Unlimited artboards
Layout all your screens, pages, menus and other items in a single project across any number of artboards. Export artboards, or any individual elements in your designs, with a single click.
Create artboards of any size
Choose from preset device sizes
Output full artboards or elements in any format
Export at 1x, 2x and 3x resolution in one operation
Linked symbols
Symbols allow you to include unlimited instances of the same base object across your project. Edit one, and the rest update instantly. It's easy to create multiple versions of symbols with some attributes detached, or even have symbols within symbols to allow some really innovative ways to speed up your workflow.
Live pixel preview
Pixel perfect designs are assured by viewing your work in pixel preview mode. This allows you to view vectors in both standard and retina resolution, giving you a completely live view of how every element of your design will export.
