Affinity's pro design studio now free on iPad
Canva has introduced Affinity for iPad, extending the Affinity creative suite to tablets with the same pro-grade tools for vector graphics, illustration and photo editing. The app is available for free, which lowers the barrier for designers and creatives who want professional software on a device they already own.
The move follows Canva's relaunch of Affinity last year as an all-in-one desktop app. Bringing that unified experience to iPad signals a clear push to make the suite work across more of the hardware creatives actually use day to day.
For the industry, this is a reminder that design tools are increasingly judged by how well they move between desktop and tablet. For professionals and students alike, it opens the door to practising and producing serious design work without a software budget.
What matters most to you in a tablet design workflow: the tools, the price or the portability?
