Try Affinity Designer, Photo and Publisher free for six months

Creative software maker Affinity is offering everyone the opportunity to try its design, photo editing and page layout software free for six months.

The no-obligation trial period is particularly aimed at users who want more time to migrate to Affinity from their current software.

To help customers making the change, Affinity is offering a comprehensive support programme including learning videos and tutorials by its in-house experts and other professionals who already use the award-winning software.

The free trial is offered on Affinity Photo, Affinity Designer and Affinity Publisher on Mac, Windows PC and iPad. Those who download it are under no obligation to buy. For customers who want to make a purchase, the apps are currently available with 50% discount.

Affinity CEO Ashley Hewson says: “More people than ever are talking about the different creative software options available. And every day thousands more designers, artists and photographers take the decision to move to Affinity, joining the millions who already trust our software for their everyday professional workflow over the last ten years.

“One of the things we hear from potential customers is that they would value having an extended period to run Affinity alongside their existing software, to get used to the differences and adapt their working methods.

“So we’re saying ‘try everything and pay nothing’ because we understand making a change can be a big step, particularly for busy professionals.

“Anyone who takes the trial is under absolutely no obligation to buy – in fact we won’t even be taking payment details at that stage. We’re really excited about welcoming large numbers of users who’ve decided the time is right to make a change.”
