Description
Canva's Acquisition of Affinity: A Game-Changer in Creative Software LandscapeCanva's acquisition of Affinity's developer has led to a significant shift in the creative software landscape. The Affinity suite, previously priced up to $70 each, is now completely free, offering photo editing, graphic design, and publishing features in one all-in-one desktop app. This move has been met with mixed reactions, with some hailing it as the best news in years, while others are wary of potential catches or future monetization strategies. The new Affinity app doesn't come with AI editing tools, but Canva's main platform has launched new AI features, which could be a potential revenue source. Despite the free access, users must sign up with their name and email, and the future dependence on Canva's system is a topic of debate.
