This article is for Canva users accessing Affinity through a verified Education or Nonprofit account.
It's not possible for verified Education or Nonprofit Canva accounts to signup to the Affinity Beta Software program via the Affinity Website. However, using the links below you can download, install and use the relevant Affinity beta app(s).
The beta versions of Affinity apps are installed alongside the current retail versions. This means you can easily switch between using the beta version and the retail version whenever you wish.
Please Note: The Affinity Beta Software Program lets users try out pre-release software. The feedback you provide on quality and usability helps us identify issues, fix them and make Affinity apps even better. However, since the beta software has not yet been commercially released, it may contain errors, have stability issues and generally may not function as well as our retail versions. For this reason, we would not advise using the beta versions for important production work. Please also consider that documents saved in the beta versions may not be backward compatible with the currently released version.
