The new Affinity app from Canva replaces Affinity Photo, Affinity Designer, and Affinity Publisher, which already shared most of their core code. It’s free to use, requires a Canva account, and reserves integrated AI features for paying Canva customers.

Canva specializes in easy-to-use online design tools with collaborative features, whereas the Affinity apps offer a powerful but inexpensive alternative to Adobe’s Creative Cloud. The acquisition could bring more collaborative capabilities to the Affinity suite and give Canva more design power.
