About document templates
Affinity Photo allows you to create (export) document templates, which typically contain placeholder content and text. Templates have a .aftemplate file extension.
When saving a template, a preferred set of defaults will be saved with it. Text attributes, object properties, stroke/fill color, guides, as well as grid setup, and more can be associated with a template.
To save a file as a template:
- From the Document menu, select Export As Template.
- A pop-up dialog will appear, prompting you to enter a name and choose a location for your template. When you have selected a location, tap Save.
To create a document from a template:
- From the Home screen, tap the plus icon.
- Select New From Template.
- Select a template from Recents or browse to locate a template.
