Whats new in Affinity 2.5?

Affinity Designer, Publisher, and Photo v2.5 on a range of devices

Affinity is promising a range of new editing options for professionals.

This includes a QR code creator and variable font support for text design across all apps.

Affinity 2.5 introduces yet another batch of new features and fixes to improve workflow.

Affinity Version 2.5 is available free to all existing users now.
