Be aware that any pixel editing, advanced gradients, or glows may appear pixelated. Through Designer, export it to a file type such as a PDF, and the vector quality will mostly stay the same. You can easily open Illustrator files in Designer, but you cannot open Designer files in Illustrator unless you change it to a file type that Illustrator recognizes. The file type is what is compatible, not everything in the file since tools behave differently for each program. For example, Designer does not support Photoshop's "smart objects" but it does still support PSD file types. You can open and export several of those files types, but consider certain features that are exclusive to certain programs. Just because a program like Designer is compatible to many common file types does not mean everything in the documents is supported. This is mostly for people just beginning, but even advanced members might learn a thing or two. Affinity Designer is definitely my program now, so I will be listing any tips and tricks newcomers might be interested in.
