Can I open an Ai file with Affinity Designer?


Recommended Posts

Ai file is Adobe Illustrator file. I need to open an Ai file with affinity designer , edit it and then export as a JPG of PDF file. 

 I heard that it's possible with a compatible App. Is that true? if so, what is that App? 

Thanks a lot.

Hi Shih,
Welcome to Affinity Forums :)
Affinity apps can all open Ai files as long as they have been saved with Create PDF Compatible File ticked/checked in Illustrator. This option forces the inclusion of a PDF stream in the Ai file that Affinity apps are able to read however this doesn't support all Illustrator features - for example gradient meshes are not editable even with that option checked.
