Yeah, I know, SCNR 🤡 It would open up a huge market for Affinity if they had a plugin SDK or API - editorial and publishing systems of all kinds could be based on their products. We all F**king hate dislike Adobe like we F**king hated disliked Aldus and Quark in the old days. It's time for a change.

...waiting... Oh, wait, there is an API: https://api-docs.affinity.co/#introduction

11 months later, this is still my top priority wish.

Folks, any news on this subject? It would be so great...

Is there actually an SDK or API that allows 3rd party developers to build interfaces? Or a library that can be used to create thumbnails and previews from the proprietary Affinity Photo and Designer formats? Not even ImageMagick which can handle almost any file does this trick by now. Supporting ImageMagick by helping them to understand your file formats would be a superb door opener for your products to reach commercial customers. Alternatively you might give developers a library that allow creating thumbnails and previews, maybe with a command line interface. All the big publishing companies, photo and ad agencies with their huge numbers of users are waiting for an alternative to their costly Adobe products, but they often need to integrate with other systems. So far, they watch what you are doing but they would not switch because they could not do the integration.
