How to convert AFDESIGN to PNG

  1. Add your AFDESIGN designs

    Drop AFDESIGN (Affinity Designer) files onto the box above, or click it to choose them. ToAny reads the file's contents to detect the type, so a wrong extension does not matter.

  2. PNG is already chosen

    Press Convert. Open Options first if you want to change the defaults. The work happens in this tab.

  3. Download

    Save the PNG, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.

Why ToAny

  • Private by construction

    The AFDESIGN to PNG converter is part of this page and runs inside your browser. Your designs are never sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

  • No upload, no queue

    Nothing has to travel to a server and back, so the conversion starts the moment you press Convert, even on a slow connection.

  • Free, without an account

    No sign-up, no email address and no watermark. Add several files and download them together as a ZIP.

AFDESIGN to PNG: what to expect

AFDESIGN opens only in Affinity, so a client or a website cannot show it without a converted picture. PNG keeps every pixel exactly and supports transparent backgrounds. AFDESIGN is at home in vector illustration, logos and interface design that is still being edited; PNG is the usual choice for screenshots, logos, graphics with text or transparency.

The defaults suit most files. Under Options you can resize the result.

AFDESIGN vs PNG

AFDESIGN

Affinity Designer document

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.

PNG image

PNG stores every pixel exactly, with optional transparency. It was created as a patent-free replacement for GIF and is the standard for screenshots, logos and interface graphics. Photos saved as PNG are several times larger than the same photo as JPG.

Questions

Are my designs uploaded anywhere?

No. The AFDESIGN to PNG conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

Does converting AFDESIGN to PNG reduce quality?

No further quality is lost: PNG stores the decoded pixels exactly. The result is identical in content.

Can I convert several AFDESIGN files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.

How do I convert AFDESIGN to PNG on Windows, Mac, iPhone or Android?

The steps are the same everywhere because ToAny runs in the web browser: open this page in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, add the AFDESIGN file, press Convert and save the PNG. There is nothing to install.

Is there a file size limit?

Pictures of up to 120 megapixels are accepted (for example 12,000 by 10,000 pixels); a larger one is refused with a message. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
