About this tool
Affinity Designer is the serious Illustrator alternative: vector and pixel personas in one file, CMYK, and a full iPad app. Many brand and icon teams use it to avoid Creative Cloud.
Canva's acquisition of Serif is changing packaging — confirm whether you are buying a one-time license or a new plan. It is a production tool, not a zen doodle pad.
