iPad versions Affinity file format (1 ir 2) compatible with Windows 10 versions?

[filoplume]

Hi,

If I buy an iPad Pro (probably the 256GB version as suggested to me here), and create something in Designer, Photo, Publisher, can I continue working on them with my PC versions?

Of course, if I can determine how to get the .af* files off of the iPad on onto my Win10 PC.

Thanks!

You will only be able to purchase the V2 Affinity applications for your iPad, as V1 is no longer sold. So you will also need the V2 apps for your PC. 

But with that, they should be compatible.

Thanks again Walt!

Good answer.

Do you know if I can get files off of the iPad and onto my PC?

I think I can transfer files back and forth using a USB cable.

You could transfer via iCloud or another cloud service. I'm not sure about other methods like a USB cable; I've never tried that.

(I think I've seen some reports that might indicate iCloud is safer than Google Drive for this if you do use a cloud service.)

Okay - Hope everything works out.  Just ordered an 11- inch 512GB Pro ( M2 chip I think and hope - it said new iPad version on Apple's website) to use all three V2 apps on it.

I didn't get the larger display because it is not my only way to use Affinity apps.  I rely on my Win10 desktop for that but this will come in handy for drawing and if I have to travel.  My Kindle Fire is 10 inches and that seems plenty big. I did not order the Apple Pencil.  May end up doing so but maybe not.

Can't wait!

I wonder if any of the brushes and other things I have purchased for Affinity Designer, etc.. will work on this iPad.  Hope so!

Thanks!
