Thanks all for your updates. I have a few options to work on now. However I really feel Serif should do something, either: 1. Detect that an image has been added multiple times, and point to the same embedded asset instead of duplicating it. 2. Add an option to compress images (even Pow*****nt has it!) 3. Add the possibility to link images instead of embedding them. The options proposed on this thread could help a little, but they're far from being seamless in terms of workflow. And applying them manually on an existing design is going to be painful.

Is there an option to compress pictures in Affinity Designer? I have a design that contains many images. The total size of my image assets on my hard drive is 500 MiB. Some images are duplicated multiple times in my design. Overall the design file is occupying 3 GiB on my hard disk. I suspect this may be the cause of some AD crashes, and I fear that a file that big may not be sustainable in the long-term as my design evolves.

I have just purchased Affinity Designer for Mac this morning. Great tool overall. It's still a bit a pain to upload .png files manually to Invision, but I'm betting that you will find a solution soon.
