Affinity Photo in plain English

• Affinity Photo is a pro-grade photo editor that feels friendly from day one. You can retouch images, build composites, export in the right formats, and keep brand colors on point—without juggling subscriptions or cloud lock‑ins. It runs on macOS, Windows, and iPadOS, and you can buy a Universal License to cover all three or pick single‑app licenses if that suits you better. (affinity.serif.com)

• It’s subscription‑free. You make a one‑time purchase, keep the app, and get all v2.x updates included. As of February 25, 2025, the latest major build is Version 2.6. (affinity.serif.com)

Why this matters for your Back Office

• Cuts recurring costs. A perpetual license is simple to budget and avoids monthly seat creep. Finance will thank you. (affinity.serif.com)

• Works where your team works. Mixed OS environment? No problem—Mac, Windows, and iPad are all supported, and the Universal License minimizes license sprawl. (affinity.serif.com)

• Keeps work moving. GPU acceleration and responsive tools help with large images, scans, and long reports without bogging down daily tasks. (affinity.serif.com)

• Plays nicely with others. Open and export PSD, PDF/X, and other common formats, so Marketing, HR, and vendors can collaborate smoothly. (affinity.serif.com)

What your team can do in minutes

• Tidy up images for presentations and reports. Fix exposure, crop, straighten, and export in the exact size and format requested. (affinity.serif.com)

• Protect sensitive info fast. Add masks or blur/box areas before sharing screenshots or scans.

• Create consistent visuals. Use ICC color profiles and PANTONE libraries to keep brand colors consistent across print and digital. (affinity.serif.com)

• Batch the boring stuff. Record macros once and run batch jobs to resize, convert, watermark, or rename whole folders. (affinity.serif.com)
