Affinity to launch unified creative app for iPad

Affinity has announced a new all-in-one creative application for the iPad, scheduled for release on November 3, 2026. The unified app combines the functionalities of Affinity Photo, Designer, and Publisher into a single platform, mirroring a design previously implemented by Canva for desktop users.

The iPad application is designed to leverage the Apple Pencil, supporting features such as pressure, tilt, and barrel roll to facilitate a workflow ranging from initial sketches to professional vector artwork. The software will support RAW photo editing, typography, and print-ready page layouts, while maintaining compatibility with professional formats including PSD, AI, INDD, IDML, PDF, and SVG.

Affinity for iPad will be free for individuals, with core photo, vector, layout, and sketching tools available without a subscription. Pre-orders are currently open.
