Affinity's all-in-one design app arrives on iPad November 3. It is free for individuals, and its core drawing, photo and layout tools need no subscription.
Affinity's new all-in-one creative app is coming to the iPad on November 3, 2026. Pre-orders are open now. It arrives nearly a year after Canva launched the redesigned desktop version for Mac and Windows. Creatives have been asking for the iPad version ever since.
The new app combines the tools from Affinity's separate Photo, Designer and Publisher apps into one. It supports Apple Pencil pressure, tilt and barrel roll, so a sketch can become finished vector artwork in the same file. Affinity says it also handles RAW photo editing, typography and print-ready page layouts.
Files made in the new app cannot be opened in the older V2 iPad apps. Anyone who shares files with people on the old apps should keep that in mind before switching.
The material does not say which iPad models the app will support or what pricing looks like for anyone other than individuals. It also does not give the cost of the premium Canva plan.
If you design on an iPad, the full Affinity toolkit is free from November 3, but files from the new app will not open in the older V2 iPad apps.
