The layout is easy to navigate and follow. Pros Affinity design is an all-in-one complete designer package. Great value for money, brilliant graphic designs, help tutorials are easy to understand and follow. The security is good and data seems to be well protected. Design creation has regular updates and easy to use software. The image editing is fantastic and on par with photoshop at a much reduced cost. I love it! Cons Have not found any negative aspects what-so-ever with this software. If I have to find one thing it would be, that if you have never used this type of software before, it has a quite in-depth learning curve. You need to watch all the tutorials. Review Source JP Jamie P. Designer Design Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Go to design softeare" July 21, 2026 5.0 Affinity Designer has been an excellent tool for creating professional graphics, logos, social media content, and print materials. Its performance is fast, the interface is intuitive once learned, and the one-time purchase offers outstanding value compared to subscription-based alternatives. Regular updates and strong file compatibility make it a reliable choice for both personal and professional design work. Pros Excellent value, powerful design tools, smooth performance, and professional features without a subscription. Great for creating high-quality graphics. Cons Fewer third-party integrations and collaboration features than some competitors, with a slightly steeper learning curve for new users. Switched from [Adobe Photoshop](https://www.capterra.com/p/229092/Adobe-Photoshop/) Easy to use, integrated into single platform, charity pricing Review Source Cindy C. Junior Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A really great alternative " September 17, 2023 3.0 Pros I really like the fact that Affinity is a one-time payment software. Unlike Adobe, it doesn't come with an annual subscription, and this factor plays a decisive role in my choice of software. Another of Affinity's strengths is their proximity to users. They attach a great deal of importance to user feedback.And of course, the software's functions are really intuitive and efficient. Cons On the other hand, what I don't like is the performance, which is really low on Windows, even with a good configuration. The software is not optimised for Windows and you can feel it. That's one of the software's only faults for me, the performance. Version 2 of Affinity has added a huge number of new features. I hope that this point will be improved in the future. Switched from [Adobe Illustrator](https://www.capterra.com/p/227125/Adobe-Illustrator/) The lifetime licence of Affinity and these features. Review Source AL Alexandra L.

It’s very similar to adobe illustrator, overall is a great tool with a much lower price than its competitor. Pros The price. It was way cheaper than adobe and had most of the same functionalities. Cons That you are not able to vectorize images - this has been lacking for so long, is the only ready I miss having adobe. Switched from [Adobe Illustrator](https://www.capterra.com/p/227125/Adobe-Illustrator/) Adobe illustrator is too expensive. I started using affinity 5 years ago when I was a freelancer and I needed to keep low budget, I kept it since then as I got used to it. I have also recommended this tool to others in my industry.

May 9, 2025 5.0 Overall, as a Designer, I use Affinity Designer on a daily basis in my business. I could not run my business without it. Pros I love the robust capabilities that Affinity Designer has. It is a great alternative for other Design apps and softwares, for a fraction of the cost. Cons There really isn't anything that I don't like about Affinity Designer. It meets all of my needs as a professional Designer. Switched from [Adobe InDesign](https://www.capterra.com/p/233314/Adobe-InDesign/) I wanted an alternative that was less expensive, but still could handle my needs. Review Source RB Robert B.

When they moved to a subscription model I looked for an alternative and found Affinity Designer. After I got use to their user interface I wouldn't go back to Adobe. Pros Ease of use and very powerful in terms of graphic design including vector art. Cons There is not much to not like about this software! The price is amazing too. Switched from [Adobe Illustrator](https://www.capterra.com/p/227125/Adobe-Illustrator/) Mainly pricing. When Adobe switched to subscription. Review Source Vasilis K. Web Developer and Designer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great software especially if we consider its price" January 14, 2025 5.0 My overall experience is great so far. It's a very capable software and I really love the one-off payment that gives you access to the entire suite. Pros It has a nice user interface and plenty of powerful features such as seamlessly switching between vector and raster graphics. Cons I wish there was an Image Trace feature for converting png images to vector. Switched from [Adobe Illustrator](https://www.capterra.com/p/227125/Adobe-Illustrator/) Mostly because of the one-off payment option. Review Source RR Rafia R. Graphic Designer - Visual Branding Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Affinity Designer is a great alternative" January 16, 2026 5.0 Affinity Designer is a great alternative for vector and branding work, especially for designers who prefer a one-time license. Pros It’s fast, responsive, and capable of handling both vector and raster work in one environment. The pricing model is very appealing for small teams, and the quality is strong enough for professional branding. Cons Some advanced features found in industry-standard tools are missing. File compatibility with Adobe formats can occasionally require extra adjustments. Review Source CS Christian S. Web Producer Translation and Localization Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great cheap alternative " December 14, 2025 5.0 Pros I had some experience with affinity before it's canva's. I love the several images editing features it's offering. Compared to big mane, it's easier. Cons I feel many lacks using Affinity Designer. Maybe some options aren't where I had habits to find on other tools. Review Source Stephen E.

Pros Its user-friendly features and its a affordability. Cons Its a great software, I love everything about it. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Director Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Affinity Designer - love it, and grab the 50% offs they do " November 30, 2024 5.0 Required some playing with to learn the features, but the control on elements is so precise. Pros I already had Affinity Photo and Publisher, purchased during the 50% off deal. 50% off came back again, and I was getting frustrated with the lack of control on precision Canva - so Affinity Designer absolutely gave me the control I need to produce my images. I could take my Canva work for example, and then continue in Affinity. The product was £26. A bargain. Cons Obviously, with any package like this, including MS Word, if it's not part of your job you only learn the bits you need. But, it's easier to learn than Adobe packages. Switched from [Canva](https://www.capterra.com/p/168956/Canva/) I still use Canva with Affinity Designer hand in hand. Review Source PK Panagiotis K. Founder & Managing Director Media Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Vector graphics for everybody" September 3, 2019 5.0 As the leader of a small-to-medium-enterprise and an educator in sound for media, many times I have the need to create simple graphics. From schematics and diagrams to icons and beyond. I use them for my company's internal knowledge-base, when I blog, for my presentations in classrooms, and even to create our own software graphical assets from mockups to finished product. First of all, it's no secret that working in vector is what every software developer should do, as it allows for the generation of all the graphic assets to be made in various bitmap resolutions, so your application looks clear and crisp in any device. Lately, even the Unity game engine introduced a pipeline to use vector graphic assets to create games, so that they render in any resolution, I definitely recommend checking this out if you are a game developer. Anyway, Affinity Designer always delivered a great experience for me and all my colleagues said that I became a graphic designer, which is not true, but it is a great compliment, and I really own that to Affinity Designer. The exporter feature is one huge time saver, you should check out the videos they have about this one and also the rest of Affinity team's video tutorials in Vimeo. Overall, the experience of using the application can be described as smooth, fast and easy. Pros What I liked most about this program, is the workflow and interface. The developers managed to create a simple to use application for vector graphics, that everybody can operate. I can't remember how many times I got frustrated trying to make a simple graphic in other programs, while in Affinity Designer, the workflow is mapped so well, that everybody can use it. From computer graphics professionals around the world, to amateurs like me, it is straight forward to open the application and start creating. The online help system is awesome and omni-present and the graphical interface is sleek and looks good in any monitor that I tried it, even small ones. I also consider a great bonus that the company keeps a straight policy about pricing, they don't use the subscription model which is very good for SMEs. Cons Some advanced vector tools are missing, but the software is still young and I'm sure it will develop to a great tool. After all, the developers seem to have usability, ease of use and fast workflows in mind, so they add new features very carefully, to keep Affinity Designer the great tool that it is now. Switched from [Adobe Illustrator](https://www.capterra.com/p/227125/Adobe-Illustrator/) Over-complicated without making the interface and workflow intuitive, they only seem to add features to this program as they go and expect from the users to follow this progress from years ago. So I don't consider it a good onboarding process. Also subscription pricing model for a graphics creation application is only for those who make a lot of money by just making computer graphics, which many people who need graphics don't.

Designer Design Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "My Preferred App For Vector Drawing" November 11, 2022 5.0 Even though it has some restrictions, I love using Affinity Designer and use it instead of Illustrator about 90% of the time. I switch back to Illustrator only when I have something I can't achieve with Affinity Designer. But the app gets updates pretty regularly so I'm hoping that it will only get better and better with each update. Pros The interface felt so easy to handle, uncluttered, and user-friendly after Illustrator. Even though Affinity Designer lacked some features that Illustrator has, it became my favorite drawing app very quickly and is still after using it for more than a year daily. Cons I'm hoping that Affinity will introduce an image trace feature soon. This feature is not only important for tracing images (which I don't really do) but also for using some custom vector brushes. For example, I bought some lovely watercolor vector brushes for Affinity Designer from a website just to realize that what I draw with them in Affinity Designer doesn't become a real vector image. When I tried the Illustrator version of the same brushes in Illustrator, I could get true vector drawings. Then I realized how important image tracing actually is. Switched from [Adobe Illustrator](https://www.capterra.com/p/227125/Adobe-Illustrator/) I saw reviews about Affinity Designer and was curious about how it was. When I tried it, I realized how much more I like working with it compared to Illustrator. Considering it being a one-time-off purchase, unlike Illustrator's subscription-based system, I wanted to switch to Affinity Designer altogether but couldn't entirely yet due to some missing features.

It covers it all and is easy to use. Pros Pricing for what you actually get on functionality. Cons Some minor issues on figuring out how to set up the studio. Switched from [Pixelmator Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/185948/Pixelmator-Pro-1-3-3-Prism/) No vector capability at that time and a pricing incentive. Review Source JK Jens K. Graphic Designer & Artworker Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "IMO the Best Vector Editing Software on the Market" July 21, 2021 5.0 Fabulous. I bought the software in 2014 when it was first released and Serif has supplied free upgrades for almost seven years now (bringing it from version 1.0 to 1.9). It's super easy to learn when you come from competing software and because it's newly developed it doesn't carry the heft of many, many years of old code and compatibility issues around (looking at you, Illustrator!). Pros It's modern, FAST (in capitals), easy to use, affordable and regularly updated. Also, Affinity Designer (and it's companion applications Photo and Publisher) are available on both Windows and macOS with 100% file compatibility; In addition there is an iPad edition available, again with 100% compatible files and great drawing features for Apple Pencil. Cons The management of ,global colours' and 'normal colours' needs some getting used to. Once you know how it works, it works well, but it's a bit different than I expected. Alternatives considered [Amadine](https://www.capterra.com/p/187774/Amadine/)[Sketch](https://www.capterra.com/p/171364/Sketch/) Reason for choosing Affinity Designer The two reasons I chose Affinity Designer over other evaluated software: - There is two more products in the suite (Affinity Photo and Publisher) and "working seamlessly together" is an understatement (StudioLink basically melts the three applications into one) - Out of the three products I looked at Affinity Designer is the one with the best export options for print-ready PDF documents Switched from [Adobe Illustrator](https://www.capterra.com/p/227125/Adobe-Illustrator/)[CorelDRAW](https://www.capterra.com/p/124823/CorelDRAW/) I switched because Affinity Designer comes at a one-off price and the software I used before switched to a subscription model. The other software I used before that was not available on macOS (it is now, but runs really, really badly). Review Source VR Verified Reviewer CEO Online Media Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Affinity Designer is a Worthy Contender in the Design Software Space" November 13, 2019 5.0 Affinity Designer feels like a friendlier vector design option as compared with some of the other usual suspects. While old-school designers and illustrators may prefer a more traditional approach, A.D. doesn't make you work quite as hard for basic shapes, text, etc. On the other hand, the departures may make it a harder transition for more experienced users. And, while this isn't a reflection on the software specifically, as a newer addition to the space, there are fewer tutorials available. I don't use it exclusively in design work, but I definitely favor it in many ways. Pros The interface is user-friendly, although there is definitely a learning curve coming from other vector design packages. I appreciate that there is a library of built-in shapes. When I'm trying to work through a design, I'd rather not have to draw a call-out or a cog or a heart. It's nice to be able to just pop them in. I also find that the basic text tool is friendlier than other packages. Cons There are some features that don't work as intended or are missing entirely, when compared against other vector design software. There doesn't seem to be an easy way to auto-trace a raster image, which would be helpful for my use. Alternatives considered [Adobe Illustrator](https://www.capterra.com/p/227125/Adobe-Illustrator/) Reason for choosing Affinity Designer It's significantly less expensive than Adobe Illustrator and doesn't require a subscription fee. But I also just like overall design. Switched from [Inkscape](https://www.capterra.com/p/178240/Inkscape/) I haven't completely made a switch, but I use both packages. I find Affinity Designer to be easier to use and enjoy some of the added features, like the ability to easily create common shapes. Review Source SM Stefania M. CEO and founder Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great app for creating nice designs" February 9, 2024 5.0 It’s very economic and it does everything that a design needs so I really recommend it, especially to small businesses Pros I like the fact that it’s not a subscription but you pay it once and then have access forever. Also it has a lot of tools so you can create and personalize your design! Cons It a professional app so it’s not that intuitive, you have to look to a lot of tutorials and guides to fully use it Switched from [Adobe Illustrator](https://www.capterra.com/p/227125/Adobe-Illustrator/) Adobe costs too much while Affinity is a one time payment Review Source TJ Tossoukpe J. Photo and Videomaker Events Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great tool" June 1, 2025 5.0 Great tool, price is excellent and very competitive regarding the market and everything the software can do Pros This is a powerful tool. I wa sinterested abut it because there was an offer for the entire Affinity Suite, and i really like this tool. I don't create that much design with edit but i edit a lot of them with it and it'es an excelelnt tool Cons Pretty hard to assimilate but as it shares a lot in common with Affinity Photo which is great when learning. Review Source JB Jeremy B. Writer Writing and Editing Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Gotta Get Them All" March 31, 2021 5.0 I should start by saying that I didn't think I'd need Affinity Designer when I bought it. The only reason I bought it (and its product sibling, Affinity Photo) was because the product I actually wanted (Affinity Publisher) has a component called "Studio Link" that allows owners of Designer and Photo to switch "personas," which is a fancy word for summoning the tool set for Designer or Photo, whenever they need to update an image, logo, vector, landscape photo, etc. within a print layout for magazines, books (my exact use case), posters, fliers, or any other printed publication for business. By having a copy of Designer, I can use its full feature set right inside Publisher (same with Photo). I never have to exit the program or swap the image file I need to work on. It's not just innovative, it's efficient: one of the functional reasons (outside the obvious cost benefit) to using Affinity Anything over Adobe Anything (including Illustrator, it's main competition). But the funny thing is that once I bought Designer (and Photo), I saw a need for it. It's now my go-to for designing vector images, which can help me to make a logo for my website or a character + scene or idea design for my book covers (in comedies and coming-of-age fiction). The hardest part is actually learning how to draw with vectors. Spoiler Alert: It's not hard, even if you're an amateur like me. Get the Affinity Designer textbook or watch expert tutorials, and you'll figure it out in no time. Pros The main reason I bought the program was because it integrates with Affinity Publisher, another tool from the same company that I needed for book design. This is probably more of a pro in Publisher's camp, but Designer's compatibility with Affinity's entire suite of products made it attractive. But it didn't take long for me to realize that I needed a program to design vector graphics, and Affinity Designer scratches that itch well. I can't compare its feature set to its competitor, Adobe Illustrator, because I don't use Adobe products, so I can't discuss what it lacks. But when it comes to essential layered shape designs and special effects (and creating patterns, and designing logos, and so on), it includes everything you need to get the job done well. It's also easy to use. The product's store page also sells a textbook that holds your hand through designing projects, so it's very learn-as-you-go. The video tutorials also offer quick tips and best practices, and you can get additional design ideas from Affinity's YouTube channel. The price is unbeatable. It charges an ownership fee, not a subscription fee, so you pay for the product once (and depending on your budget, you don't pay much) and keep it forever. The price includes all updates within that version, and it updates enough to maintain user confidence. Overall, my opinion is that if you care about graphics of any kind, this is a tool worth having. But you should get all of Affinity's products. They're worth it. Cons If I were a dedicated graphic design artist, I might have an opinion here. But as a writer and sometimes game designer, my graphic needs are governed by situation, and so far my situation has not revealed any frustrations that I wouldn't extend to all Affinity products. So, the only actual negative I have right now is trivial. I'd need to use the software consistently to become excellent, and I don't need it often enough to become excellent. But if I were to use it consistently, the tools it offers would help me become excellent. So, there's no real con to buying this program, especially at its price point. Keeping track of the art boards gave me a headache the first time I used them. I think I may have used them wrong. A true graphic designer probably wouldn't have that kind of problem. It would be like a non-writer trying to learn how to use the style sheets in Microsoft Word (or Affinity Publisher, for that matter). Not hopeless, but not easy on the first try. No, the only nitpick I have is the same about all of Affinity's products. To update them, you have to manually download and install the newest version. Each product is half a gigabyte in size. Multiply that by three (because all three share the same updates), and it can get expensive on your hard drive if you don't have that delete key ready. It would be nicer if they had an auto-updating option available (for those who trust the integrity of updates). But that's about it. Oh, and Affinity likes RAM. Lots of RAM. Reason for choosing Affinity Designer When I saw what Affinity Designer (and Photo and Publisher) could accomplish as a complete design layout suite, and when I saw how little I had to spend to access such power, I couldn't justify leaving it behind. It was literally a case of "I don't know if I can afford to buy this, but I do know that I can't afford not buying it." So I bought it. And I could afford it. Review Source Jeremy D. Lead Designer Media Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "An Affordable Champion" May 5, 2022 5.0 I've been looking for an alternative to Adobe illustrator for years now, and Affinity Designer is the one. The interface is much faster to open and lighter in feel, and it offers pretty much all the features one could want from a vector editor. You can jump between vector and raster quite easily too. Pros Affinity Designer is very inexpensive, but you wouldn't know it from using it. This is a full-on, best-in-class vector graphics application for designing logos, icons, UI, mock-ups and more. Cons While Affinity Designer is very similar to Adobe Illustrator, it does behave quite differently in some ways, and will take a little longer to adjust coming from Illustrator. That being said, it's still very easy to use. Alternatives considered [GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program)](https://www.capterra.com/p/168960/GIMP/) Reason for choosing Affinity Designer Much more professional interface than Gimp. Switched from [Adobe Illustrator](https://www.capterra.com/p/227125/Adobe-Illustrator/) Very affordable, no monthly contract. Review Source PC Paul C. Associate Pastor Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The software Adobe doesn't want you to know about" February 12, 2023 5.0 I think it far surpasses Adobe at a great price point. While there are some things that are convenient with Adobe, it does not warrant the price. While it may not be the most popular too for graphic design, it is still one of the best by far. Pros I started looking for something cheaper than Adobe. While Adobe has the market corned, the price is very high considering it is a subscription based service. I started looking into Affinity during the pandemic after downloading the iPad app. After some research, I decided to take the plunge and try it out. The price was only $50 with no subscription, which I could easily stomach. The price itself is a huge selling point. I began using Affinity designer and found it far more used friendly than Adobe Illustrator. Because there is no cloud services or extra software, your computer's power goes directly to the app. Plus, because there is an iPad app, you can easily switch between devices. Cons If you are used to Adobe products, it will be a learning curve moving to Affinity. you do not have access to Adobe fonts and will need to install font files from either another website or buying them from Adobe. You will also have to think about cloud storage for your projects. I use Google Drive and all of my projects and data sync perfectly.

Pros Affinity Designer is a vector graphics software that allows you to do retouching, illustration and drawing. It is a great tool for designers and is compatible with most operating systems. The Affinity Designer software is easy to use with its intuitive tools and easy navigation. It is a great software for creating artwork for business, creating marketing materials, designing logos and more. Cons It's a nice software to use, suitable for beginners as well as for professionals. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Ingeniero de Implementación y Soporte Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Affinity Designer, a good tool for designers." January 15, 2019 5.0 I use Affinity for more than two years and the truth is that what can be achieved is satisfactory, that it is easy to use because it resembles others, it contains the exact thing to illustrate and when deploying it in the graphic arts department it was very appropriate for us. Its low cost, its help methods grow over time and this allows you to be informed of innovations in the product. Pros Affinity is a good competitor for other tools that are giving you something to talk about and they show it with this software that enhances your designs, an interface that does not depart from familiar tools. Its low cost and updates draw attention, I had the opportunity to test it on MacOS and I wanted it to come out for windows, later my prayers were heard and today is part of my group of applications that I use to illustrate, Serif intends to get into the game with a program that offers a lower cost of good quality than others that are expensive. Cons Although upgrades improve it and make Affinity more similar to other software, it lacks many tools that would boost it and put it at the top, but eventually we'll see it.

Pros I capture a lot of HEIC images with the iPhones and knowing that I can easily import them into Affinity Designer without the need to convert them into any other format or always trying to remember and change my phones camera settings to JPEG every time i take photos is a big plus. Thanks to AD and It has always been my first to go software when planning to use images from my phone. I would also like to mention about the shape builder in Affinity Designer which has been a fun tool and very easy to use. I use it a lot for quick logo designing. Quick steps such a simple drag to combine segments works perfectly. Cons I appreciate that AD comes with an iPad version which is a plus. However, in other use case, the blend modes seem not to work and sometimes I have experienced freezes when trying to export slices. Hopefully an update will address this soon.
