About AFDESIGN files

The .AFDESIGN format is the native working file for Affinity Designer, a vector graphics editor developed by Serif. It holds complex vector paths, text layers, embedded raster elements, and non-destructive adjustment layers.

The format is strictly proprietary and optimized solely for the Affinity ecosystem. You cannot open .AFDESIGN files in web browsers, standard image viewers, or mobile operating systems natively. Furthermore, industry-standard software like Adobe Illustrator or CorelDRAW cannot parse the file structure. This creates a hard vendor lock-in; if a client or colleague does not own a paid license for Affinity Designer, they cannot view, print, or edit your source file.

To share your work, conversion is mandatory. For cross-platform vector editing, convert to SVG or EPS. For professional print production and archiving, convert to .PDF/X or .PDF/A. For quick web viewing, convert to PNG or WEBP. Note that converting to non-native formats will flatten proprietary adjustment layers and complex live effects. Drop your file here to view and convert it securely right in your browser.
