About AFDESIGN

AFDESIGN is the project file of Affinity Designer, Serif's vector illustration and design app. It holds curves, shapes, text, symbols, artboards and raster layers, so a design can be reopened and changed at any size. ToAny reads the preview picture Affinity saves inside the file, so what you get is Affinity's own render of the document, at the size Affinity stored it (up to about 512 pixels on the long side), not the layers or the full-size artwork.

AFDESIGN opens only in Affinity, so a client or a website cannot show it without a converted picture. AFDESIGN keeps the curves, text and artboards of an Affinity Designer project editable.
