Affinity

Affinity refers to Serif’s desktop design applications, primarily Affinity Designer, Photo, and Publisher. They are not dedicated PDF editors, but they can open, place, export, and in some cases edit PDF content as part of graphic design, page layout, and prepress workflows.

The suite is used by designers, illustrators, and publishing teams who need to create print-ready documents or adjust imported PDF artwork without relying on Adobe software. A distinguishing trait is its one-time purchase model and tight integration between vector design, raster editing, and desktop publishing tools.
