The entire Affinity creative suite will be available for Windows users. Serif is expanding its reach beyond macOS. It offers software and related products directly to customers via its website, contact center in the United Kingdom, and through retailers.

Serif Ltd, a British publisher, and developer of the software is privately owned. Serif does not currently have plans to replace the WebPlus or MoviePlus product lines within the Affinity range. Its rating from users currently sits at 4.5 stars.Affinity Publisher is the successor to PagePlus and the third edition of the Affinity product range. According to Serif, it has also regularly been listed in the top 10 apps on the Mac App Store. That's great news, because the Mac version has been very well received indeed, receiving an award from Apple last December naming it as the App of the Year for 2015. And in a first for Serif, there was no Windows equivalent, giving Mac owners an exclusive on the new app.Ī year later, that exclusive comes to its end with Serif's announcement of a similar Affinity Photo beta on the Windows platform. Initially released as a beta, Affinity Photo offered a potential lifeline to Mac users who'd found themselves stranded by Apple's decision to cease development of Aperture, and Adobe's choice to turn its Creative Cloud apps including Photoshop into a subscription-only product. A year ago, British software developer Serif - then best known to photographers for its consumer-oriented Windows app PhotoPlus - took its first step onto Apple's Mac platform with the launch of Affinity Photo.
