Canva Create 2024: Welcome Affinity

We couldn’t be more excited about the possibilities ahead as we welcome Affinity to Canva. Based in the United Kingdom, they join a number of other European companies who have become part of Canva, including Flourish, Kaleido, SmartMockups, Pexels, Pixabay and SlidesCarnival. They bring with them a 90-person team who we’re thrilled to have joining Canva.
You can expect to hear more from us about our plans to unlock the power of Affinity’s technology within Canva over time.

do NOT add a subscription model to affinity, i repeat, DO NOT.

[GeneralLiabili]

Affinity is great, good software, great license, affordable.

Don’t ruin it.

[JoseLuisGarcia]

I speak for everyone as we say: DO NOT ADD A SUBSCRIPTION MODEL. DO NOT MAKE IT EXPENSIVE. DO NOT LEECH ON OUR INFO. KEEP IT PRIVATE. DO NOT DO ANYTHING ADOBE DOES.

[PCGEEK]

As long as they don't add a subscription based model like Adobe, it becomes ridiculous the pricing. We shall wait and see

[jkartz]

hope you develop affinity further as it was, community powered and loved!! Do not destroy like others!

Meanwhile, in Adobe: check out our new T&C, now we've access to all of your work LOL

[RuthKwimby_ART]

Great partnership. As long as Affinity doesn't turn into an Adobe product. It's perfect the way it is. ~Affinity Fan

If Affinity turns to subscription based model, it will be the nail in the coffin!

I was writer, photographer, editor, content creator (whatever that means). I bougth in the amazing Affinity family early. I was wowed, blown away, liberated from you-know-whAd. Then Canva came along and I started using it for upfront simple work.
Now, I'm a teacher. for two years, I've been enjoying the Whole Canva experience, but still feeling wanting (from my prior experience). And now, I fill fulfilled.

I'm an aspiring young designer from India. I've purchased a personal copy of Affinity suite which is approx INR 18, 000 (150-200$) in my region, now transitioning to Affinity from Adobe since the Affinity ecosystem matches my creative workflow. I look forward to use Affinity for my professional practices, Meanwhile I'm going to pursue my master's education in interaction design at a university in Sweden and they have Affinity as part of student licenses. So my usage will be long term. I hope there are learning certification courses/official training similar to Adobe which will boost industry recognition.

You people are going in the right direction, please don't spoil it by going the subscription model route. Please listen to your customers, unlike some other companies

[karl-ford]

I hope Affinity will release a Linux version in the near future!

[WLB]

Don’t you dare ruin Affinity with a subscription model.

[sloppynyuszi]

Canva still uses generative AI and is a subscription service. I don’t mind paying for Affinity 3.0 like I did for 2.0. I would like to know it isn’t scraping my stuff and the payment model won’t change. The new acquisition isn’t filling me with confidence. Still like the app, but will be paying attention.

[christopherbouget]

Been a fan of Affinity for something like 7 years, and have used Canva for a number of projects, I really am excited, and a bit nervous, about this whole joining together.

[Erispedia]

I hope more apps give option for users to buy perpetual license instead of subscription. Since there are many people that don’t use the app everyday but want to own the best full featured apps in case they need those apps once in a blue moon.

[purplekrakenyut]

Feels like Canva is about to make a subscription model to Affinity in the future. I can smell it.

[madeyeQ]

Now you just need to make a Linux version, and you have the world in your hand!

[williambell]

I'll add, PLEASE...
...Please don't take another of my BELOVED packages away and put it behind a monthly PAYWALL!

When I have a software package I love, I UPGRADE w/o any thought - ALWAYS, to show my support for your company and efforts.

If my consistent upgrade dollars aren't enough, then you're not pricing your product correctly.

EVERYONE here LOVES this software suite!

We love this software because it's NOT Photoshop, Illustrator or Indesign - and especially BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT ADOBE!
