Affinity Designer's a lifesaver\! > > **Cons**: Had a bit of a kerfuffle finding tutorials and resources for it. Reckon the community could be a bit bigger. > > Used to use Illustrator, but that was a right pain in the neck with the subscription fees. Much more straightforward, this. ----- ### "Affinity Designer - love it, and grab the 50% offs they do" — 5.0/5 > **Anonymous User** | *30 November 2024* | Staffing & Recruiting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I already had Affinity Photo and Publisher, purchased during the 50% off deal. 50% off came back again, and I was getting frustrated with the lack of control on precision Canva - so Affinity Designer absolutely gave me the control I need to produce my images. I could take my Canva work for example, and then continue in Affinity. The product was £26. A bargain. > > **Cons**: Obviously, with any package like this, including MS Word, if it's not part of your job you only learn the bits you need. But, it's easier to learn than Adobe packages. > > Required some playing with to learn the features, but the control on elements is so precise. ----- ### "Great alternative" — 5.0/5 > **Grant** | *9 September 2019* | Graphic Design | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Affinity's Designer is the closest thing to Adobe's Illustrator. Yet it has other great options. I particularly like how you can switch between vector and pixel mode. Additionally, it's really smooth to use. That's quite a hard thing to explain but it just works really well. It's also partly about how it feels like a mix of InDesign and Illustrator. I particularly like how you can easily export to many different formats. > > **Cons**: I can't say there's anything really. I'm still slightly adjusting to the details of this from Adobe but that's to be expected, not that there's that much to pick up really. > > I've really enjoyed using this software as it works so well. And the biggest plus, no subscription\! ----- ### "Great software especially if we consider its price" — 5.0/5 > **Vasilis** | *14 January 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It has a nice user interface and plenty of powerful features such as seamlessly switching between vector and raster graphics. > > **Cons**: I wish there was an Image Trace feature for converting png images to vector. > > My overall experience is great so far. It's a very capable software and I really love the one-off payment that gives you access to the entire suite. ----- ### "Great alternative to Adobe illustrator" — 4.0/5 > **Alexandra** | *29 April 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The price. It was way cheaper than adobe and had most of the same functionalities. > > **Cons**: That you are not able to vectorize images - this has been lacking for so long, is the only ready I miss having adobe. > > I like affinity designer, I used it a lot for logo and branding creation. It’s very similar to adobe illustrator, overall is a great tool with a much lower price than its competitor. ----- Page: 1 / 19\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/110533/webplus-x4?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/110533/webplus-x4) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ko | | | nb | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
