AFDESIGN: This is Affinity Designer’s native file format.PDF: Although the PDF format is commonly associated with text-based documents, its architecture allows for preserving all of the properties of a vector graphic, so it makes for a great alternative.It utilizes some degree of rasterization so that it can be opened with raster image editors as well. EPS: Short for “encapsulated post script,” EPS is also an editable format, but it’s not a true vector format.SVG: Short for scalable vector graphics, the SVG format is probably the most commonly used file type for vector design.This means that they can be created using any vector software.Įxamples of editable vector formats that can be opened and edited with Illustrator - or any vector software for that matter - are as follows: As it turns out, there’s a variety of other editable vector formats that can be opened and edited with Illustrator, and unlike Illustrator’s AI format, they’re universal formats. I recreated the same art, adapting to the tools from Gravit Designer.Believe it or not, not being able to save as AI with Affinity Designer is not the end of the world.
I have followed the step-by-step taught in this tutorial created by Nathaniel from Tutvid, except that his tutorial was created with Illustrator. Gravit Designer also has it’s own Cloud storage, and it counts with multiple Fills and multiple Effects being applied to the same element. It is a truly multi-platform app available for Windows, MacOS, Linux and ChromeOS. Gravit is also a very lightweight application to be installed, but can also be used exclusively on the browser if you prefer. Gravit Designer does have a Pro version too (which is annual and not monthly, by the way) but there’s also the Free version, which is still very complete and can cover all your needs to design. No, we don’t really mean to brag here, but Gravit does have some advantages to Illustrator.įirst and foremost, you can use it for free. Gravit Designer still has many classic features in common with AI (and with other vector applications) like thorough text editing, symbols, shared styles, blending modes, text on path, path operations, swatches and so many more great features. The similarities don’t end here, of course.
