What is an AFDESIGN file?

An AFDESIGN file is a design document created by Serif Affinity Designer, a vector and raster graphics design application. It stores a design, which includes one or more image layers, shapes, text, pencil or pen drawings, paint strokes, and other Affinity Designer elements. Affinity Designer users often save designs, such as icons, logos, print materials, and website mockups as AFDESIGN files.

Affinity Designer is a professional vector designing application similar to Adobe Illustrator. While Illustrator saves designs in the Illustrator Artwork (.AI) format by default, Affinity Designer saves designs in the AFDESIGN format.

After saving your design progress as an AFDESIGN file, you can close the file, then re-open it for further editing. If you create a design you want to replicate, you can export it as a template by selecting File → Export as Template.
