Canva has introduced Affinity for iPad, a free app that packs a powerful punch for photo editing, sketching, vector work, and layout design. Tailored specifically for the iPad and Apple Pencil, Affinity mirrors the desktop version's capabilities. This app enables users to fine-tune raw files, make precise selections, retouch in real-time, and composite images, whether at a photo shoot or on the go.
The app's Mask Tool swiftly selects and edits complex edges like hair, fur, and foliage using the Apple Pencil. Moreover, it offers comprehensive sketch, vector, and layout editing tools, allowing users to create multi-page documents like 'zines, lookbooks, and photo books. A Layout tool ensures consistent text and image flow across pages, while master pages and grids maintain uniformity.
Designed with the iPad in mind, Affinity boasts an intuitive interface where the tool aligns with the user's hand, minimizing clutter. Notably, Affinity supports Apple Pencil Pro features such as pressure, tilt, barrel roll, squeeze, and hover, in addition to natural gestures. Every adjustment, filter, and effect updates instantly, and thousands of editable layers remain swift and smooth.
Affinity for iPad’s core tools come free for individuals, with additional photo editing features unlocked via a Canva premium account. The app is compatible with all major file types. Affinity for iPad is currently available in the Apple App Store, requiring a free Canva account for use.
