Convert AFDESIGN to AI

Understanding AFDesign and AI file formats

The AFDesign file format is primarily associated with Affinity Designer, a vector graphics editor developed by Serif. It is used for creating and editing vector graphics, illustrations, and designs. The AI file format, on the other hand, is the native file format for Adobe Illustrator, another popular vector graphics editor. AI files are widely used in the design industry for creating scalable vector artwork.

How to convert AFDesign to AI

Converting an AFDesign file to an AI file involves exporting the design from Affinity Designer in a format that Adobe Illustrator can read. Unfortunately, Affinity Designer does not support direct export to AI format. However, you can export your design to a compatible format like PDF or SVG, which can then be opened in Adobe Illustrator and saved as an AI file.

Best software for AFDesign to AI conversion

The best software for converting AFDesign files to AI is Affinity Designer itself, combined with Adobe Illustrator. Here’s how you can do it:

• Open your design in Affinity Designer.
• Go to File → Export and choose PDF or SVG as the export format.
• Open the exported file in Adobe Illustrator.
• Go to File → Save As and select AI as the file format.

This method ensures that most of the vector data is preserved during the conversion process.
