Safety overview
Status: Safe
Affinity is a legitimate commercial design application from Canva Pty Ltd. Its app files and related Library data are generally safe to keep when you use the software. The main risk is ordinary data loss if project files, custom assets, or support data are removed while the app is still in use.
Recommendation: Keep Affinity if you use it for design, photo editing, illustration, or layout work. If you no longer use it, removing the app is optional, but review any project files, custom resources, and Library data first so you do not lose work or presets.
