Affinity Designer vs Diagram

Affinity Designer is a vector graphics editor developed by Serif (now owned by Canva) for graphic design, illustration, and UI/UX work. Originally sold as a one-time purchase alternative to Adobe Illustrator, Affinity became completely free in 2025 following Canva's acquisition of Serif. The application combines vector and raster design tools in a single workspace with professional-grade features.

Diagram AI design tools acquired by Figma, including Magician plugin for generating icons, copy, and images inside Figma.
