Affinity, a high end photo editor that competes with Adobe Photoshop, is now free. Which bought Affinity, removed the price tag. Photographers no longer pay a monthly or yearly fee to use the full program.
Adobe Creative Cloud forces users into nonstop payments plus adds AI features that many photographers never touch. Affinity runs fast, loads quickly and keeps its interface simple. Its well known zoom reaches one million percent. Until now buyers paid once but also owned the license. That single payment has now dropped to zero.
Anyone can download Affinity today and pay nothing. The package includes precise selection brushes, clone stamps, adjustment layers, masks as well as blend modes. Speed stays high even on large raw files. Newcomers and experts alike open the program and edit or composite without first entering credit card data.
Canva offers AI helpers in its web design tool - yet Affinity ships without forced AI wizards. Users keep full command of each pixel or curve. For photographers who want to dodge automated edits, the free Affinity release gives a professional, fully manual workspace at no cost.
