Hear it directly from Canva's co-founder and Chief Product Officer, Cameron Adams. Affinity is 100% free. π
No catch, just powerful design tools made for people who are done with paying too much for creativity. And no, your content in Affinity is not used to train AI features. Your work stays your
How is Affinity now free?
