Text layers are not editable after being exported as PSD from Affinity Photo, Publisher, or Designer.

[1h1vm5t90y]

Seeking assistance regarding an issue encountered in Affinity software suites—Photo, Publisher, and Designer. After exporting a file as a PSD format, I've noticed that the text layers become uneditable. Can anyone provide insights or solutions to address this challenge?

That is correct, see the Help

File type	Open	Export
Adobe Photoshop (PSD)	x3	x10

¹⁰ Text will be rasterised on export.

If you can use PDF in your target application, exporting to PDF from the Affinity app would result in text being preserved as editable text (as long as you don’t have any gradient fills or layer effects applied).
