Affinity Designer 2.6.5 for Mac
Mac Photo & DesignAffinity Designer 2.6.5 for Mac is the vector graphics editor made by Serif, built for illustrators, logo designers, brand designers and UI work. It became popular as a serious alternative to subscription design software because it combines precise vector drawing with a fast, Mac-focused engine that stays responsive even on large, detailed artwork.
Designer works in switchable workspaces, called Personas, for vector drawing, pixel painting and export. You can draw clean shapes, add textured raster brush work in the same document, then slice and export assets for print, web and apps. Version 2.6.5 is a late release in the V2 line, sold with a perpetual licence rather than a monthly plan.

- Precise pen, node, shape builder and vector flood fill tools for logos and illustration
- Vector, pixel and export Personas in one document, with real-time gradients and effects
- Artboards, symbols, constraints and assets for UI work
- Opens and exports PSD, AI, PDF, SVG, EPS, JPG and TIFF files for flexible handover
- Fast pan and zoom, optimised for Apple silicon and Intel Macs with Retina support

Is Affinity Designer free?
Designer 2 was a paid app with a perpetual licence, not a free full version. Serif offered trials at different times, and Serif has since been acquired by Canva, so check the official page for the trial, pricing and successor-app terms that apply today.
Is Affinity Designer a subscription?
No, the V2 apps were known for one-time purchase licences. Keep your licence details from your official Affinity account so you can reinstall version 2.6.5 later.
