The professional-grade vector powerhouse, now part of a unified 'Affinity' app. Since late 2025, the core Vector Studio is free forever for individuals. It features the new 'Chroma Engine' for lag-free editing of massive files and seamless switching between vector and pixel work. While the desktop versions are free, high-end AI generative features require a Canva Pro subscription.
