Will There Be an Issue When Downloading Files from Affinity with the .AF

[VivianD117]

 After watching the Canva announcements and downloading Affinity, it occurred to me that there might be a problem having Zazzle recognize the .AF when trying to download a design.  Never having used Affinity before and only using the standard -- .png/ jpg/ svg -- I wonder if it will be an issue.

When you create an image in the now old Affinity Designer you specify how you want it saved.  I use SVG in Designer and PNG in Photo. I played around a bit with V3 under its new Canva ownership and it seems no different with respect to file management. The new V3 has everything organized into one package (and there are some neat new bells and whistles).  V3 created png and SVG images added to Zazzle just fine.  I never save files in the Affinity format so .AF is irrelevant for me.  Just waiting for the iPad version since I now rarely use a laptop.

@Zorinda Can Affinity also save .PSD and .AI files? I know it can open those, but I never tried saving those formats. I like my files to be as versatile as possible. There are still things Photoshop (even my old version) can do that Affinity can't, so I don't want to totally ditch the Adobe ecosystem.

I don’t have my laptop handy to open V3, but in V2.x on my iPad it can export files as PSD but not AI. I would think that V3 would at least do the same.  I got rid of my Adobe subscriptions a few years ago so I’m not the best person to ask. Here’s what the V2 export choices look like:

I save to PSD all the time from Affinity. Not sure about AI.
