Affinity Plugin

How do I install Affinity Plugin?

  1. Download the .pkg installer from magnific.com/plugins/affinity and run it. It installs for your user only, so no admin password is needed.

  2. In Affinity, open Settings (⌘,) > Photoshop Plugins, click Add under Plugin Search Folders, and choose ~/Library/Application Support/Magnific/Affinity Plugin. Tick "Allow unknown plugins to be used."

  3. Restart Affinity, open a document, select a pixel layer, and run Pixel > Filters > Plugins > Magnific. The Magnific panel opens alongside Affinity.

Requires Affinity 3.2 or later (the unified Affinity app by Canva). Runs on macOS only for now.

What can I do with the plugin?

Available in Affinity:

The plugin runs as a filter — select a pixel layer, launch Magnific, and results apply straight back to that layer, fitted to its size.

- Image Generator — Create images from a prompt and apply them straight to your pixel layer

- Variations — Generate alternative takes on your layer and pick the one that fits your design

- Mockup Generator — Turn any layer into a product mockup without leaving Affinity

- Change Camera — Reframe an image from a new angle and lens without reshooting

- Skin Enhancer — Refine and retouch skin with natural detail

- Relight — Change the lighting or the entire look of a layer while keeping the content intact

The panel runs in its own window alongside Affinity, so you keep designing while it works — with stock search, your creations feed, and your credit balance built in.
