Affinity Designer 2 keeps vector and pixel work on a single canvas, so artwork can be assembled from editable curves and finished with raster brushwork without moving files between applications. The pen tool previews the curve that is about to be committed, and editing remains non-modal — objects can be moved, reshaped and recoloured without changing tools.
Live Boolean operations, non-destructive compound shapes and vector warping handle the geometry, while symbols, constraints and asset libraries handle repetition and layout consistency. Documents export to print, web and standard interchange formats with reusable export presets. The package installs offline as a pre-activated build.
