Jesse Bruner Posted September 28, 2018 Posted September 28, 2018 Hello there, I am currently on the 10-day trial of Affinity Photo testing the waters. I've been a long-time Photoshop and GIMP user, however I have recently become disgruntled with Photoshop and am looking for a powerful alternative. Affinity looks great in a lot of ways, however I came across something quite alarming. Affinity doesn't support ICO? Even the free open source Gimp can edit an ico file, why can't affinity? Will that support be coming soon? Is there a plugin that allows for ico's to be edited? Thanks! Jesse Quote
Staff Gabe Posted September 28, 2018 Staff Posted September 28, 2018 Hi Jesse, Welcome to the forums. We do not support .ico files. Have a quick look at this thread: Thanks, Gabe. Quote
Jesse Bruner Posted September 28, 2018 Author Posted September 28, 2018 I already looked at that thread. So there are no plugins which allow for editing ICO files? I can always use GIMP, but I want to have a streamlined workflow. Are there any plans to support .ICO files? What other files can affinity not handle/export to? Quote
Staff MEB Posted September 28, 2018 Staff Posted September 28, 2018 Hi Jesse Bruner, Welcome to Affinity Forums No, there's no plugin or way to export to .ico files directly from Affinity as Gabriel said. You can find all supported export format going to menu File ▸ Export. Anything not listed there is not supported. I'm moving this thread to the Suggestions for Affinity Range ( current & future ) section. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software
Staff Gabe Posted September 28, 2018 Staff Posted September 28, 2018 No. A plug-in will not add additional files to the compatibility list. We do not have an ETA for .ico fils. Sorry. It would be an endless list on unsupported files by us. Basically, anything that's not on this list is not supported Full Open or Import List Adobe® Photoshop® PSD PNG TIFF JPG GIF TGA SVG EPS PDF PDF/X EXR (Open EXR) HDR (Radiance) Adobe® Illustrator® AI (containing PDF stream) Legacy Adobe® Illustrator® AI files Adobe® FreeHand® (versions 9 to 11) Affinity Designer native file Full Save or Export List Adobe® Photoshop® PSD TIFF (layers preserved) PNG JPG Progressive JPG GIF SVG EPS EXR (Open EXR) HDR (Radiance) PDF (can also be opened in Adobe® Illustrator®) PDF/X-1a, PDF/X-3, PDF/X-4 Affinity Designer (Affinity common file format) Quote
