muffincat Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 A client of mine doesn't use Affinity, only Adobe. I however made the Logo on Affinity Designer. I told her already, that the Logo I made for her (one with a background, one with a transparent one) is big enough and has good quality. She can use it for her flyers, posters etc. Its a good quality nonetheless. But she insisted to get an Adobe file... She is not as familiar as me when it comes to no-can-do's when it comes to files.

Pšenda Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Can I export my Affinity Designer file to a file that can be opened from Adobe so she can use the vector of the Logo? Yes - any vector format (PDF, EPS, SVG) or Adobe PSD. However, depending on the type of logo, after export/import it is necessary to check if any elements/effects have been rasterized or if there have been other complications. muffincat 1 Quote Affinity Store (MSI/EXE): Affinity Suite (ADe, APh, APu) 2.5.5.2636 (Retail) Dell OptiPlex 7060, i5-8500 3.00 GHz, 16 GB, Intel UHD Graphics 630, Dell P2417H 1920 x 1080, Windows 11 Pro, Version 23H2, Build 22631.4317.

Like, would like more if… Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Clean outcomes can never be guaranteed but the most friendly cross Designer/Illustrator file is undoubtedly a PDF. As illustrator uses the PDF file as a part of its file structure you can change the extension form .PDF to .AI and it will open in Illustrator on an Adobe installed machine. As Pšenda has pointed out non compatible styles will be rasterised. If you've ever tried to open a PDF and strip it or edit it Designer you'll know the kind of thing. Blends that can be created in Illustrator cannot be created in Designer and vice versa, so will rasterise as an image and exist within a vector clipping path, limiting scaling. Vector geometry and flat colours will transfer just fine. Quote Mac Studio M1 Max 32GB RAM running Sequioa 15 OS ASUS ProArt screen and Hewlett Packard HD second screen.

walt.farrell Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 It seems surprising that you'd have a logo that big (> 30,000 px in dimension).
