Affinity Unbound
As a branding content curator, I rarely feel this excited about a single app. Affinity for iPad unifies sketching, vector work, photo editing and layout in one native app. Everything lives in the same .af file, so you skip exports, conversions and fractured workflows. Sketch Studio senses Apple Pencil pressure and tilt, preserving nuance and editable strokes. Sketch to Shapes and the Mask Tool speed up complex vector and selection work. Best of all, it is free for individuals, needing only a free Canva account to begin. This app removes tool friction and accelerates creative iteration for professionals daily.
As a brand curator, I applaud its thoughtful iPad first interface, built for touch and Apple Pencil Pro. AI arrives through Canva AI Studio, offering Generative Expand, upscaling and Decompose Layer for editable results. The app keeps advanced colour management and print readiness, ideal for lookbooks, zines and photo books. Canva shaped features with designers, illustrators and photographers, so it feels built by people who draw. If you care about craft, workflow clarity and professional results, this release demands your attention now.
