Serif Offers Affinity Apps Free Ahead of Major October 30 Event
Serif, the publisher of Affinity apps, has made a surprising move by offering its three popular iPad apps - Affinity Designer 2, Affinity Photo 2, and Affinity Publisher 2 - for free. This limited-time offer comes ahead of a major event scheduled for October 30, 2025, where significant changes are expected to be announced.
Previously priced around $20 each after a one-week trial, the apps are now available free of charge to iPad users. This sudden change hints at a larger shift in strategy by Serif, which was acquired by Canva in 2024. The event on October 30, dubbed 'true creative freedom' by Serif, is expected to reveal a complete overhaul or a new business model for the Affinity apps. However, specifics about new app versions or features remain under wraps. It's also unclear whether the current apps will continue to function or remain in the App Store post-October 30.
With the free offer ending soon, iPad users have a chance to try these powerful apps before the upcoming changes. The event on October 30 promises significant revelations, potentially reshaping the landscape of creative software on iPad.
