Briefings
Canva announced today that Affinity for iPad is now available as a free, all-in-one design application for individuals. This marks the launch of the iPad version of the Mac app, which previously unified vector, photo, and layout tools into a single interface on Apple's Mac platform. The release follows a year-long development cycle where the original Mac app consolidated these tools, and this update extends that functionality to the iPad ecosystem.
Key points
- Canva launched the free Affinity for iPad app today, extending its vector, photo, and layout tool suite to Apple's iPad platform.
- The app offers pro-level power comparable to the existing Mac version, providing a unified interface for design work across both platforms.
Context
Canva has extended its Affinity tool suite to the iPad, matching the Mac version's unified vector, photo, and layout capabilities. This expands professional design tools to Apple's iPad ecosystem, allowing users to maintain consistent workflows across Apple devices.
