Canva has launched Affinity for iPad, a free app that offers professional-grade tools for design, illustration, and photo editing optimized for touchscreens and Apple Pencil. This new version includes features like Sketch Studio for freehand drawing and supports various design file types while maintaining compatibility with the existing Affinity suite.
The app integrates AI capabilities, such as Generative Expand for background extension and automatic enhancements. Following concerns about potential subscription models after Canva's acquisition of Serif, both companies have assured users that they will retain the one-time license structure.
Affinity for iPad empowers creatives with professional tools on-the-go, enhancing workflows with features like Sketch Studio. Users should monitor updates for potential new AI enhancements and file compatibility improvements, ensuring seamless integration with existing projects.
