Affinity Extends Free Product Trial and Discounts to June 20, 2020

When I first read about Affinity’s 90-day free product trial and 50 percent off product discounts during the COVID-19 pandemic, I was impressed with their support of designers, students, artists, and business people.

With students moving off-campus, businesses laying off people, or with people working from home, many creatives wondered how they were going to continue their studies or work projects without access to the applications they use.

Affinity offers product alternatives with similar features and functionality to Adobe’s Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign products at significant savings.

I’ve heard from many colleagues who were happy to transition from Adobe’s licensing policies to purchase Affinity products.

They’ve made the transition and aren’t looking back.

So when I read that Affinity is extending their product trial and product discounts to June 20, 2020, I wanted to make sure my blog readers were aware of this excellent opportunity to try out their products.

About Affinity

Affinity suite of products includes Affinity Photo, Affinity Designer, and Affinity Publisher.

Affinity products are produced by Serif, a company that began developing Windows products for business and design in 1987.

After years of creating and maintaining legacy products, Serif began development of a new product from scratch, releasing Affinity Design a vector design application in 2014.

They continued to extend their product offerings with Affinity Photo (photo editing) and Affinity Publisher (desktop publishing), creating a suite of products for graphic design, photo editing, and desktop publishing.

What I like about Affinity products:

  1. Well-designed, well-supported
  2. Available for Windows, Mac, and iPad
  3. New features and functionality added frequently
  4. Affordable pricing: With the 50 percent discounts, pricing is $24.99 (U.S. dollars) for Affinity Designer, Photo, or Publisher product on Mac or Windows; $9.99 (U.S. dollars) for the iPad product versions

  1. Thanks for sharing! I didn’t know why they were half off last month, but I took advantage of it for my Mac. I may just jump in and get the iPad versions, too!
