Opening Affinity Files in Illustrator?

[linds.saurus]

What do I need to save my Affinity files as if I need to open them later in illustrator? Im slowly weaning off of Adobe but if I switch back and forth I would like to know. Thank you

Hi,

 

If you need to edit in both applications, then exporting a PSD from Affinity would be best practice, and open the PSD with illustrator rather than Photoshop. And you'll still have the original Affinity file in case something goes wrong along the way.

No worries. :)

I think that simply exporting your Affinity Designer files as PDF will work best. PSD files might be okay for Affinity Photo files but for Designer files, I would stick with PDF.

PDF will currently do a better job with text.

... I switch back and forth ...

 

If you go back to use some feature (still) not on Affinity, you may take a look here and ask there anything you feel Affinity needs to handle, if no one requested it before ;)
