As Adobewrapped up its annual conference in Los Angeles, Canva pulled a sneaky snake andannounced a new(ish) product called “Affinity.” This new software combines and refines the Affinity suite by Serif, a UK-based developer, which Canva acquired in 2024.
The new Affinity combines photo editing (Pixel), vector graphics (Vector), and layout (Layout) software into one comprehensive suite. Additionally, it enables designers to customize their workflows as they utilize all three. Studios in Affinity are workspaces that users create by mixing and matching tools and panels, and can be saved and shared.
Affinity promises to be professional-grade and lightning fast. Oh, and it will also be free to everyone forever.
