Affinity Publisher 2.6.5 for Mac
Mac Photo & DesignAffinity Publisher 2.6.5 for Mac is Serif's page-layout application for books, magazines, brochures, reports and marketing documents. It is made for designers, publishers and small teams who need proper multi-page layout on macOS: master pages, flowing text, professional typography and print-ready export in one program.
Publisher's standout idea is StudioLink. If Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer are also installed, their main tools become available inside Publisher, so you can edit a placed photo or adjust vector artwork without leaving your layout. Serif was acquired by Canva in 2024, but affinity.serif.com remains the official home for the Affinity apps, and version 2.6.5 is part of the V2 line that Serif sold with a perpetual licence.

Is Affinity Publisher free?
No. Publisher 2 was sold as a paid, perpetual-licence app; it was not a free full version. Trial availability has changed over time, so check the official Serif page for the terms that apply now.
Can Publisher open InDesign files?
It can import Adobe InDesign IDML files, which is the usual route for moving a layout across. Complex documents may still need checking and tidying after import, especially fonts, effects and linked assets.
