Safety overview
Status: Safe
Affinity Publisher 2 is legitimate creative software used for page layout and document production. It normally needs access to files, fonts, linked images, and export locations so you can open projects and save finished work. Removing the app will not harm macOS, but it can leave your Publisher documents and custom resources unavailable until you reinstall it or open them in compatible software. Keep normal backups of active projects, linked assets, and exported files before making changes.
Recommendation: Keep Affinity Publisher 2 if you use it for publishing, layout, or print design work. If you no longer use it, you can remove the app, but save or archive your project files, linked resources, templates, and exported documents first so ongoing jobs are not interrupted.
