So did they buy Affinity and all their tools and gave it for free? https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/about/ https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/about/

  Yep, but dont expect the level of quality development that was there before. These'free' tools are to attract you to buy ai. They are now only selling tools. Serif were pushing to beat Adobe at their own game and make the best designer tools available. Canva are just trying to sell you ai.

    Interesting. Yes, the pro features seem to be just about ai these days. I used affinity’s indesign equivalent while at work and it was quite good. I wonder what the business model is? Same as figma a while back?

    So why has Canva been giving massive amounts of their quality development away for free for over 10 years?

      It's never been free, they've always been developing stuff to push you to Canva Pro.

        The issue being they don’t give everything away for free?
