What is a .afphoto file?
AFPHOTO is a document from Affinity Photo, Serif’s photo editor. Created and opened by Affinity Photo.
- Did you know
- Affinity Photo launched in 2015 as a one-off-purchase rival to Adobe Photoshop.
- Affinity Photo came from the British studio Serif, which Canva acquired in 2024.
- In 2025 its features were merged into one free Affinity app that also absorbed Designer and Publisher.
- What Analyser reads
- Identify design-app files: Figma (FIG), Sketch, Affinity Photo/Designer/Publisher, GIMP (XCF), CorelDRAW (CDR), MediBang Paint (MDP) and Substance. Krita (KRA), Procreate and Paint.NET (PDN) now show their embedded preview - see Raster art above.
- Depth of analysis
- .afphoto is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
- Open a .afphoto file
- Drag a .afphoto file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
