Text in AD: is text a vector or raster?

[ecdom1]

I would like to know how to make sure that the text I place will be a vector. How may I ensure that the text is a vector? Thanks.

Text by definition is always a vector object.

Hi ecdom1,

Welcome to Affinity Forums

Text objects are always created as editable/scalable objects (using both the Artistic Text Tool or the Frame Text Tool). The text will be only rasterised if you export your work to a raster format (like JPG, PNG, etc) or if you intentionally rasterise the text object (right-clicking on it in the Layers panel and selecting Rasterise). Some features may also force the rasterisation of the text objects on export depending of the format you choose to export the project: for example some blend modes are not supported by certain formats, as well as Layer Effects which force the rasterization of the text objects they are applied to.
