Plug Ins for Affinity Designer


Recommended Posts

I love love Affinity Designer.  Been using it at my agency and so smooth especially on the M1 mac.  Does anyone know if there are any plug ins available for Designer?  I used to use Astute Graphics with Illustrator but pretty sure it does not work on Designer?  thanks!

Seriously: —> affinity.serif.com/publisher/studiolink
Because that's the Affinity "killer feature".

Other than that, many users' ad hoc "plugin" is the currently free beta version of VectorStyler. It's not very stable, but it's a useful intermediate tool for those "freaky" vector path manipulations that are not avalible in Designer (yet). You can simply copy vector paths back and forth via system clipboard.

Hiya @designlove and welcome!

Affinity Designer has no user interface for adding plugins. In Photo it's in Preferences-Photoshop Plugins, but there's no equivalent in AD. As @loukash says, the only option is to round-trip into another application for stuff that Designer won't do on its own.

Affinity Photo 2.0.3,  Affinity Designer 2.0.3, Affinity Publisher 2.0.3, Mac OSX 13, 2018 MacBook Pro 15" Intel.
