Which Affinity Designer persona/mode is specifically designed for setting up multi-asset exports?
Answer: Export Persona
The Export Persona (the export icon in the top-left toolbar) provides slices, export options, and batch export controls for multiple assets.
When exporting a logo from Affinity Designer for use on websites, which file format preserves vector quality at all sizes?
Answer: SVG
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) stores vector data, so the logo renders crisp at any resolution without pixelation.
What is the purpose of the 'Slice Tool' in Affinity Designer's Export Persona?
Answer: Define rectangular export regions that can each be exported with different settings
Slices mark specific areas of the canvas for export; each slice can have its own format, scale, and filename.
In Affinity Designer, how do you export a file at 2x resolution for Retina/HiDPI screens?
Answer: Set the scale to 2x in the export dialog or slice options
Setting the export scale multiplier to 2x outputs the file at twice the pixel dimensions, matching Retina display requirements.
Which export format from Affinity Designer should you choose when the client needs fully editable vector files in Adobe Illustrator?
Answer: PDF (or AI-compatible PDF)
Exporting as PDF preserves vector data and is natively opened and re-edited in Adobe Illustrator with full layer/path compatibility.
What does the 'Flatten Transforms' option do during SVG export in Affinity Designer?
Answer: Bakes transformation matrices into path coordinates, removing transform attributes from the SVG XML
Flattening transforms embeds position/scale/rotation directly into path data, ensuring maximum compatibility with SVG viewers that may not support CSS transforms.
