Inkscape is a free and open source vector graphics editor that is similar to both Adobe Illustrator and Affinity Designer.

If this describes you then you may want to consider one of the other two solutions. However, if your design is large and complex, then manually tracing it probably isn’t the best approach, or even possible for that matter. The downside of using an automated tracing feature is that it very rarely traces over your image with absolute precision. This method may be right for you if your image is simple enough to trace manually, or if you have something that needs to be traced with precision. In fact, I created a video tutorial demonstrating how to do so: This can be done by simply drawing individual elements right on top of your image, and then coloring them in using the Color Picker tool. The only real way to go about vector image tracing with Affinity Designer is to do so manually using the Pen Tool.
