converting images to a vector file

[The Printed Message]

I have had a request to send my design files in a vector format to a printer for printing heat transfers for me. They are not familiar with Affinity so they cannot help me in how to do this. I have searched tutorials but cannot fiqure this out. I am sure there must be an easy way to do this

Hi The Printed Message,

Welcome to the forums.

If you've used Affinity Designer to create your design files from scratch using the tools available you'll be able to use File > Export. However Designer doesn't yet have an auto trace feature to convert existing bitmap images into vectors, this is something that will be added in a future update. You do have access to the Pen Tool to manually trace your image.
