Tool Features

Explore the main features of this powerful tool.

Fine Tune Your Images: Ensure your images match the brilliance of your layout. Affinity Publisher comes with a full collection of powerful, non-destructive adjustment layers to make crucial image corrections right there in your document.
Perfect Graphics: Whatever the brief calls for, you can rely on Affinity Publisher to handle all the standard file types you’d expect, leaving you free to create the most ambitious, content-rich combination designs, pulling in raster or vector assets from multiple sources.
Advanced Design Tools: Create and edit vector graphics in your layout using the powerful pen, node, and comprehensive shape tools – all with fine control over gradients and transparency.
Package: Collate your document alongside all used image and font resources into a folder. This can then be easily transferred to another system to aid collaboration or for print production.
Data Merge: Easily integrate text and image links into your document by merging from an external data source (Text/CSV, JSON, and Excel files are currently supported). Perfect for creating certificates, business cards, badges, tickets, form letters, envelopes, and catalogs.
Live Preflight Checking: Customize the all-new Preflight panel to receive live warnings for possible errors in your document, including poor image resolution, bleed hazards, overflowing text, spelling errors, missing images, font resources, and more.
Full-Color Control: Affinity Publisher can handle RGB, LAB, grayscale, and CMYK color spaces, with advanced control over professional color requirements for print.
Professional Output: Pantone support, end-to-end CMYK, and ICC color management are just part of it. You can also open, edit and output PDF/X files, set overprint controls, and add bleed, trim, and crop marks for press-ready output.
Instant Undoes History: Instantly scrub through hundreds of undo steps with the history slider. Plus, save your history with your document.
Rotate Canvas: Rotate your whole document by 90, 180, and 270 degrees.
Smart color picker: Dedicated color picker tool to accurately pick a color, including single point or averaged sampling over an area.
Asset Management: Create sets of regularly used assets that can be instantly accessed and dragged onto your project.
Transform Panel: Precisely adjust an object’s position, size, rotation, and shear.
Transparency Tool: Drag a transparency gradient over any object, with support for linear, radial, elliptical, and conical types.
Glyph Browser: Browse the full set of available glyphs for any font.
Package: Collate your document alongside all used image and font resources into a folder. This can then be easily transferred to another system to aid collaboration or for print production.
PDF Passthrough: Flag imported PDFs for PDF passthrough to ensure that files will be perfect representations of original PDFs when exporting, regardless of whether embedded fonts are installed or not.
Stroke Panel: Offering full control over dashed line styles, arrowheads, and pressure properties.
Customizable Keyboard Shortcuts: Affinity Publisher comes loaded with default keyboard shortcuts, but you can tailor them to your own muscle memory.
Add Noise: Apply noise to color fills for a textured look to your work.
Preview Mode: Instantly switch from viewing grids, guides, bleed, and margins to a completely clean preview of your document.
Blistering Performance: Pan, zoom, and scroll through documents at 60fps.
Organizational Tools: Organise your documents with the section manager and automatically generate indexes and a table of contents.
Studio Presets for The UI Layout: Save your favorite workspace setups for different tasks and easily switch between them.
PDF Bookmarks: Bookmarks provide a listing of flagged content present within a PDF document and are a great tool to save digital readers time as it allows them to skip to certain parts of a document, such as an order form.
