Six months free trial is insanely good, can strongly suggest anyone who's been on the fence to give it a try!

As a professional designer with a long Adobe history, I can attest that the "switch" _can_ be made, and very successfully at that. If you're on the fence, don't be. Invest the time, and the very little coin, to ditch the 800 pound gorilla of software rental and preposterous TOS.

That's such a clever move actually. You got the right timing for this. I hope this all works out in your favor

Six months free. This is unprecedented.

I switched to Affinity many years ago - from the dreaded Adobe of course :D Right after Affinity had its very first version on Windows. Never even thought of going back to Adobe. Affinity is way smoother, quicker, snappier, saves way smaller files with the same content and the interoperability between apps is top notch. Stop worrying, give it a try. Most of the Adobe fame comes from long history and urban legends but unless you have VERY specific needs for some 1 or two options that Adobe offers - not only you can switch but you can find working in Affinity much more gratifying!

Affinity is the new standard. I appreciate Serif for their fair pricing and perpetual licensing model. I purchased the entire suite and I have no regrets whatsoever.

Wow! Hey, Affinity. I see you. I know exactly what you’re doing, and I love it!

This might just work!!!!! I just shared a link with my work colleagues. Finger crossed!

Dear Affinity Team, please don't shift to a subscription based system later on. I think you will build a very loyal customer base if you treat them accordingly. Thank-you

Using this software has been the best decision I've made regarding moving away from the other subscription tools. Thanks!

I’ve been using Affinity for years now. Love your guys dedication to the end user. Well worth the money for the suite.

If you drop an animation app, there will be no more competition

I have a perpetual licence. Peace of mind!

I already own the suite but what you guys are offering is amazing 💗

As an Affinity customer since 2015, all I can say is that I'm extremely happy with their products. The quality/price ratio is unbeatable. Thanks for providing such an amazing creation suite!

I cancelled my Adobe CC last week and just got my Affinity Suite for the IPad for like $20. For me this will be just a hobby. Can't wait to see the new tutorials. I need to learn this stuff from zero.

I hope you became the standard for the industry

If only all companies can be this open. Great move ! I already own a suite license, so cannot take advantage of this offer, but kudos to you !

Just today I started the incredible free 6 month trial - thank you Affinity for such an amazing intro to your software and as of this moment have wiped clean my Mac of every single evil Adobe entity - yes even those bastard hidden file that seem hard to delete. Adobe has GONE for ever. I absolutely love your Publisher app - it's wonderful, easy, insightful, fast and just makes a better contribution not the world of software. Keep up the superb work :)

This is a great news for new users. I just upgrade from V1 to V2. It is only a year, and the V2 is already at 2.5 which is quite fast. I remember V2 was introduced when V1 reached 1.9 or 1.10. I'll wait to see if the V3 will be introduced when V2 reaches 2.10, and how Affinity and Canva can keep their promise or not as well. If they do, I'll upgrade from V2 to V3 and keep using Affinity.

We need an After Effects alternative from Affinity. That'd be the final blow to Adobe.

Well done. 6 month is what someone needs to try a new software that requires changing workflow and habits. I bought your software 4 years ago. It was a no-brainer because of the of subscription free nature of it.

I've been using Affinity since 2018, mainly because I needed a vector app on my iPad, I loved it. I purchased the whole suit on the V2 as soon as they announced it. It works way better on my computer than Illustrator, and it's amazing that I have all the tools available on desktop on the iPad as well, that's a win for me. Keep doing a great job!

Wow! Definitely recommending this at work tomorrow.

THANK YOU! I just purchased the entire Affinity suite. I refuse to support Adobe's toxic business model. Honestly, for my personal needs, I probably could've gotten by fine only using GIMP. But I want to support businesses like yours who are doing things right!

Long time Adobe user here also. Made the switch about 2 years ago and it took about 3-4 months before I fully moved over. This is definitely a good opportunity for my fellow designers out there.

Love the work you guys have been putting in your software, not proud to say but I have used a cracked version of your programs for a while a few years back and loved it, ended up buying V1 Designer on sale and even V2 bundle when it released, love you guys and thank you for making it easier to get into digital art space

You guys are incredible!! It’s companies like this, that ACTUALLY care about customers, who deserve to thrive. I hope you’re able to gain a good amount of new customers from this. Best of luck 🤞. From a proud owner of Affinity Photo and Designer.

Downloaded, installed and giving it a try tomorrow! Hats off to you!

Amazing! I’m using the Publisher 2, still learning and I’m very interested on the Designer! ❤❤

Omg your the best! I've just started few days ago. Thank you!!! Definitely buy your software.

This is insane, mad respect for affinity!

Excellent! Thank you! Got a trial and already did some tests with Affinity Photo. 🙌

I love the “I love your Creative Sessions”. Thanks for that.

I decided to switch to Affinity this week, as I bought a new computer, I haven't switched yet because I'm still waiting for my order to be delivered, this is perfect timing!! Hoping to get my new computer asap to get Affinity

6 months free trial is amazing, it takes a lot of time to move in and learn the new software. I will have more time to get over the learning curve and will confidently purchase the software when I'm used to it. Thanks for the gift Affinity!

Absolutely brilliant move. I just had to buy the bundle to support you guys. Can't wait to see what else you can come up with. Cheers. 🍻🍻

It's totally worth it! Affinity is an amazing set of tools!

Been using Affinity Photo for years now and plan to continue using it for many more years.

Nice one! You should link to some tutorials for new users as well, strike while the iron is hot.

Wow this is awesome. I've been thinking about affinity for a while. I might have to look into it now.

This is a fantastic offer. I bought into Affinity after Adobe blocked my licence without warning or explanation (paid for years back and I wasn't interested in updates for my needs) and wanted me to pay monthly. Took a bit of getting use to as I'm not a big user of photo editing but I've now settled into it and have used it for a bit of fun.

What a big gift for the community!

Hey thanks for this! Please consider Android and Linux support as well :)

Love it love it love it. Your tools are top notch and easy to switch to. You maintain this approach in the market and you'll have loyal customers for life.

This could be really useful for people who are waiting for their Adobe CS pay monthly/ anual subscription to run out.

This is incredibly charitable to potential customers, the best way to stand behind your product, n an excellent way to stick it to the ridiculously priced Adobe Suite. I always wanted to learn digital art but gave up that dream a couple decades ago when I saw how expensive the programs were from Adobe cuz at the time you had to buy their stuff if you wanted to create something of a high quality. I stuck with random arts n crafts hobbies for years but I think I will do the trial for Affinity n finally start my journey into digital art 😊

What a fantastic idea! Thank you.

Great job guys. Very much appreciated by the art community!

I have to get this. Great going Affinity.

Just bought the Universal license♥️thank you affinity for being noble!

A bold step. But a very clever thrustful step! Make Affinity better. I use it for years now!

Thankyou so much❤

Una mossa coraggiosa che dovrà essere assolutamente premiata. Consiglio vivamente a tutti di acquistare i prodotti Affinity!

This looks awesome - I really want to jump over to Affinity Photo from Photoshop for painting and illustration, the one thing I'd like to request is being able to rotate the canvas with a wacom, like 'R' in PS. At the current time as far as I can tell, the only way to rotate the canvas in Affinity Photo is to use the mouse - would be great with wacom support!

Cheers from Russia. Sanctions didn't stop me from buying your great software!

Unfortunatly i still miss a Lightroom alternative I have used affinity photo 1 for some years now. But for making Photography, especially with clients who need many (similar) photos i just miss a lightroom like alternative, so i kinda use both. But i dont see the point in buying the new suite if the main feature i (and many many Other) miss still isnt there. Affinity your Software is great, more than that, its excellent But pls make an similar excellent Lightroom alternative Thanks!!:)

Affinity has been my work tool for four years. I only have words of gratitude to Serif for having developed such a robust and effective suite. I would never think of using other tools for editorial design again.

Serious ❤❤❤ I love the software. More time to really learn more and appreciate 😊

Perfect! If it would be an Lightroom alternative also, even better. But definitely would give this a try!

Best of luck to you guys!

God Bless you folks!! This is really unheard of... Touched by your generosity :)

I have a friend who uses Adobe and I've been trying to talk her into Affinity for some time. She is now most definitely moving over to the trial.

What a great company! I have become fiercely loyal to this company and their products. Every day I move another small chore over to Affinity as I become accustomed to it. It's tough at time when you're so so so used to doing a thing another way... but... as I slowly ween myself over, well by gosh.... LOL I'm liken' it!!! And another strange thing... I'm having fun doing it.

Love that they are talking so open to the community

Installed it and will study everything. I am sure I can make the best out of the 6 months!

Six months free trial is insanely good,

Huge amount of respect guys,!!! I always wanted to switch but was always held back because of learning curve and time investment. I am positive i'll be buying it by the end of 6 months. I hope the trial also incules the iPad apps.

native linux support would be so gooooooood

Thanks so much for this. I've tried many times to give Affinity a go but always run out of time and just end up back at Adobe, this really gives us a chance to see to learn it. Looking forward to the tutorials. If you makes some called Affinity for Adobe users, that will really help!

amazing!

Coo. I definitely have to try Affinity

I tweeted the announcement & a link to the video! One can DEFINTELY make the switch easily! Take it from a long time Adobe user & former InDesign Evangelist/Guru. I made the switch back in 2019 & haven't looked back since!

Thanks, mate. I'm barely starting with Affinity on iPad, haven't met my skills yet. UI is similar to other software but I feel the process and tools work a bit different.

What a baller move! I used Affinity photo a while back but never got on with it - definetly a good time to give it another shot

clever idea !

Just bought the universal license , I want to support your hard work in here, thanks!

Thank you so much affinity

I bought win and mac full suite. Very happy

I use affinity, it's just great

Thanks for the offer... AFTER I bought it.

I've been with affinity for a number of years now. Love the company's attitude. Please dont change your corporate approach. But please develop a solid RAW developer/ lightroom alternative. This is holding many back from changing from Adobe.

glad I came across this, it has help me design better advertisement for my business

I love you affinity !!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

Adobe right now: 🔥🔥🔥 "This is fine. I'm okay with the events that are unfolding currently. (sips coffee). That's okay, things are going to be okay." 🔥🔥🔥 BTW, I'm already an owner of Affinity Photo and Designer. Great pieces of software and solid Adobe alternatives. I must say, this promotion couldn't have happened at a better time. Keep up the good work!

wild. I think I'll go buy some brushes.

Wow time to switch 🤩

Eat that, Adobe!!!

Bravo!!!!

this is amazing ❤ i’m looking to boot up a freelance webflow business and i’m going to start with affinity. this makes my decision to do so much easier, and im betting this will be permanent.

You need to create an After Effects alternative. And Linux support, that would be a a knockout blow to Adobe.

I bought the Affinity Designer 1 - years ago, and today I got an even better deal than 50% off the bundle, I think it was exactly 62.5% off :) as I paid 60 instead of 80 bucks, for ALL, like what? iPad versions included, also both Windows and Mac, CRAZY GOOD. Adobe can eat *you know what*...

❤❤❤Thank you

I only still have v.1 suite . Can I get the trial for v.2 without messing anything up?

It will be the number one technology in the headlines. Exceeds Adobe and even Apple's way of doing business. Thanks ❤

I am an Affinity user and I really wish your apps could support RTL (right-to-left) languages. You probably have no idea how many people will switch to your apps once this is applied. I love Affinity and thank you for your hard work. I can't wait for more game-changing updates. Peace!

Insane

Affinity be acting smart as F lately. I will defnitley try it!!!

That's a company I like to support!

I've been an Affinity user since it was shown at the Photo show in brum, it's fantastic, the only thing I want more is a Lightroom Affinity app to go with the suite, or a photo/LR "affinity" combo. THAT would be the killer blow to Adobe.
