Affinity Designer Export and File Formats

Question 1

Which Affinity Designer persona/mode is specifically designed for setting up multi-asset exports?

Accepted Answer

Export Persona

Answer

The Export Persona (the export icon in the top-left toolbar) provides slices, export options, and batch export controls for multiple assets.

Question 2

When exporting a logo from Affinity Designer for use on websites, which file format preserves vector quality at all sizes?

Accepted Answer

SVG

Answer

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) stores vector data, so the logo renders crisp at any resolution without pixelation.

Question 3

What is the purpose of the 'Slice Tool' in Affinity Designer's Export Persona?

Accepted Answer

Define rectangular export regions that can each be exported with different settings

Answer

Slices mark specific areas of the canvas for export; each slice can have its own format, scale, and filename.

Question 4

In Affinity Designer, how do you export a file at 2x resolution for Retina/HiDPI screens?

Accepted Answer

Set the scale to 2x in the export dialog or slice options

Answer

Setting the export scale multiplier to 2x outputs the file at twice the pixel dimensions, matching Retina display requirements.

Question 5

Which export format from Affinity Designer should you choose when the client needs fully editable vector files in Adobe Illustrator?

Accepted Answer

PDF (or AI-compatible PDF)

Answer

Exporting as PDF preserves vector data and is natively opened and re-edited in Adobe Illustrator with full layer/path compatibility.
