Affinity windows files on a mac


Recommended Posts

The Windows Designer beta uses the new 1.5 file format, which is incompatible with the 1.4.x & earlier Mac retail versions. However, the Mac betas also use the 1.5 format so you can open the Windows files with them.

Hi Retep,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

I'm not sure I understand you question. You can simply copy the file to your Mac and open it there with Affinity Designer Beta (1.5) which uses the same file format as Designer for Windows (1.5) as R C-R pointed out.

The Mac App Store version (1.4.3) cannot open files from Designer for Windows Beta and Designer for Mac Beta versions because it still uses the old file format.

On the contrary you understood my question very well and your response most helpful - thank you.
