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.

Key Points

Zero Cost: The suite costs nothing and will stay that way.
Every Tool: All professional functions remain unlocked.
No Plan: No recurring subscription exists - the software is free to keep.
Optional AI: Generative AI tools stay out of the way - manual editing remains the focus.

Relief for Users

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.

No Price Block

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.

Hands-On Editing

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.
