Affinity doesn't have an automatic image-to-vector feature, but you can trace the image manually using the Pen Tool in Affinity Designer. Alternatively, you can use online tools like vectorizer.io or try using an online tool like this image converter to compress the image before converting it to a vector format. It helps in maintaining quality while reducing file size.

Most welcome.

Your Sphinx moth illustration looks amazing, Ldina! The textures and details make it feel so real. I love how you’ve added those natural touches to make it stand out. Looking forward to seeing more of your art

Hi everyone, I had the same problem with RAW files from the Photos app. After trying Hangman's solution, it worked for me too. Also, make sure your Photos app is up to date, as it can help fix some issues with files.

I’ve also faced a similar issue with the transform origin being misplaced. Using Select > Cycle Selection Box helps temporarily, but the problem comes back when reselecting. I hope this bug gets resolved soon as it disrupts the workflow. Is there any update from the developers on a permanent fix?

Nice work. The custom 007 logo is really creative. Maybe you could try adding a soft glow or a light effect to make the eyes stand out more. By the way, which software did you use for this?

Hi Kacha, your approach to buying only Affinity Designer for now makes sense if it fits your current needs. Later, if you want the other apps, you can buy them separately or check if there’s a discount or bundle offer available. Affinity often runs promotions, so keep an eye on those.

Wow, That's really great. Loved it.

Thankyou For Sharing this.

Can anyone share specific tips or settings they use when creating new brushes in Affinity Photo or Designer? I’d love to learn more advanced techniques

Hi, I faced a similar issue with PNG file sizes. For reducing the size, you can try tools like https://jpegcompressor.com/ even for PNGs, as it helps optimize without losing quality. Also, using 'Layer Effects Gradient Overlay' in Affinity Designer works well for undithered gradients. Hope this helps.

Hi everyone, I agree that improving the measuring tool would be really helpful! Adding dimensions to a layer and allowing more measurements would make things much easier. I’ll look for the threads you mentioned and share my thoughts there too

I understand now that big changes like advanced page management might need file format updates, even in smaller version updates. It can feel a bit annoying, but it’s worth it for the new features.

Hey, I'm Neha Kakar, a web designer from India. I've recently started exploring AD + AP, and I'm genuinely impressed with both the tools and the amazing team behind them! It’s the interaction between the developers and users on this forum that truly inspired me to dive into Serif's ecosystem.

For high-quality JPEG compression without compromising the image, you can try using an external tool like JPEG Compressor. It allows you to compress unlimited images without losing quality, making it ideal for sharing smaller files that still look sharp.
