If you export to non-native formats (PSD, PDF etc) a few things may be rasterised on export depending if the format or us supports them or not. In the case of PSD we support importing text layers from PSD files as editable text as long as the respective preference is ticked in Affinity Photo Preferences, General section (Import PSD text as text rather than bitmap) but we do NOT support exporting text layers to PSD as editable text - currently all text layers are rasterised (turned into bitmap/images) when exporting to PSD. This is something we may improve in the future but due to the lack of documentation of the PSD format in this area it's something that's not easy to achieve. ok thank you for the clarification.

Afromalone Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I've had the same problem. A solution is to export the file in Affinity Photo as a .PDF and use photopea.com to save that file as a .PSD file. The resulting file will have editable text layers in Photoshop. It would make life a lot easier if it were enabled in Affinity photo. I can't leave Adobe until that feature exists in the Affinity apps unfortunately.

Natsuko Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Hi I’m struggling the same problem. I exported some PSD files on my iPad selecting “preserve Edit ability”. and I opened the file checking Import PSD text as text rather than bitmap. But all texts have converted in Pixels and don’t let me edit. My coworker uses Affinity Designer to edit my files but doesn’t work in the same situation . Thank you for your help…!

The Affinity applications cannot export to PSD format with editable text. You will need to use a different application, or a different file format.
