CorelDRAW Graphics Suite Reviews & Product Details

The CorelDraw interface has been refined, but stays dependably predictable and intuitive. The functionality is top-rate. CD is like your favorite leather jacket: showing it's age, but still the one you always reach for.

CorelDraw has tried to integrate its software into the cloud world, with limited success. This is where the product does seem outdated.

When you need to knock out a quick illustration, logo, or graphic element, this is the go-to tool. CorelDraw has contributed to the look and image of our business since its inception.

Using Corel has a painterly feel that imitates traditional tools.

Getting used to the tools kit. I'm used to the adobe interface so it takes time to adapt.

Faster output for illustrations. Less risk.

CorelDRAW is very easy to learn. I needed to learn it quickly for a project we were going to have engraved. Thankfully, the tools and layout of the program make it easy to create a variety of designs. When it comes to engraving, it's critical to have a tool that will allow you to dictate various cut lines vs. engraving, which is where CorelDRAW comes in so handy. It allows you to easily create a design that can be transferred to an engraver or simply edit photos for a printer. Whatever task needs to be done, CorelDRAW makes it easy to learn how to do and carry out.

The only thing I can say that I dislike is the price. The product is extremely expensive, although very useful. The sheer price of the product can make it an unattractive program to many.

CorelDRAW makes creative projects a cinch. With its ability to create vector graphics, it does what most other photo editing program cannot do. Its intuitive tools have given me the chance to spend more time designing and less time simply trying to figure out how the program works. All in all, it's the perfect editing tool for those unique, creative projects, especially when time is of the essence.

The tools that you use when working with graphics, scanned, etc;

I don't think there is much that I don't like about coreldraw.

I have definitely noticed the benefits are the user friendly format.

User friendly vector program that fills all of my needs. Changing scale and color rendering are excellent.

Copy paste hang ups occasionally and left clicking on but maps/images sometimes causes crashes.

I do shop drawings at a sign company

Corel Draw is user friendly software with the best solutions for vector graphic. The lines drawn in it are smooth and perfect, colors and gradients are better than in other vector software. You can make anything you imagine in it.

For 20 years since I use it, still didn't find anything I don't like.

I am a Graphic Designer and had problems with other vector softwares, but always found solution with CorelDraw.

This application allows extremely high-quality vector objects outline. When painting there are no unnecessary points, the line is very smooth. Easy and intuitive control of Bezier curves Creating illustrations of any complexity. The quality of other competitive programs significantly lower. User-friendly interface. Multi-page documents. Comfortable working with colors. Qualitative export EPS, AI, PDF, PNG and JPG files. The ability to create blueprints with dimensions.

Not easy to work with large amounts of text. Weak support OTF. Bad OTF fonts lists are grouped into font menus.

Create illustrations, logos, icons, drawings. Complex models such as labels, packaging, stikers and infographics.

Bezier curves.. the way you can manage the tension and the autocorrect tension elimination nodes is just perfect for create smooth curves

power clip its little bit complicated... will be great can do it with a command, and also have a esy key or command for edit the contents of the power clip object

Its better for create projects with perfect traces

Corel Draw is easy to use, the tools for draw, the tools for paint and use the transparent options and the multiple options it has for save our work. The files are not really heavy, the colors are true colors when you print. The easy way to create new document and how easy is change the sizes of the files. How easy is create more pages in the same document without needing to create another space work for it. Corel Draw has the most easy tools for create vectores and how easy is too redesign them. The fonts is another good stuff Corel Draw has and simple option of create curves with the font, painting them, or just "play" separate way with them to create amazing designs is great.

it crash sometimes and dammage the files are already saved and the font founder option doesn't really work very fine, is not very approach to the real font shows the document.

I teach my students with this software and it is easy to save the files to take them to print. How easy is create beautiful posters, flyers, bussiness cards, labels, magazines, everything you want and is in your head and then you can printing them or save them for multiple purpouses.

CorelDraw is comparable to illustrator except on one level that I have come to find. CorelDraw's comparability is phenomenal, it works well with any program and file type within reason.

I personally find that CorelDraw has an issue that when I am working on large scale jobs with many items, it tends to crash often and cause my files to become corrupt. However, this may be my issue.

I like the flexibility of the tools. You can create almost anything from your imagination or can fulfil the requirements of the project easily!

Nothing in particular. The program has variety of tools and options

I have used Corel for years and used to it. In different versions it came much better, for example Virtual segment delete and Trace have became much better but still prefere Trace in Illustrator. Photoshop opions I use rare because in Photoshop is everything quiker and Corel Photopaint is slow and clumsy. I like that can change In Corel bidmaps to SMYK and files are not so large than in Illustrator. Corel is ok for drawing logos or else. Laser engraveing machine accepts only Corel files and thats why is nessesary to develope Corel and not let it die.

In Corel7 I hate colors management system. For designer are the most important lines and color but I don`t find it in basic tools panel. Why there are all not nessesary tools and I have to waist my time when I need Pantone or other color system. Designer puts colors with %-s. Before was better to chose colors. With texts has Corel problems all the time. It would be nice when developers pay attention to the texts options. Nobody who is professional don´t make web in Corel and edit large amount of photos.

I like the user interface, ease of use of different and powerful features provided by Coreldraw. Node editing from since Coreldraw 5 is breeze! If one masters node editing in Corerldraw he can do lots of things in design.

Cluttered work space, stability issues. Too many options given at the same time. User interface should not have gradients. Also some option to make the interface darker/lighter.

Interface - Doesn't change a lot between revisions of software. I USED to like the fact that I could upgrade about every 2 versions so I wouldn't be out money each year.

License changed. Can't have perpetual unless I buy again. Which makes not sense when I spend $XX on subscription.

Graphics manipulation bot raster and vector. I like the product is integrated so you can easily jump from one to the other.

This all in one design tool helps to create all the creatives at their best. I really like the workspace which they provide along with the easy to use toolbars. This widely used creative tool is super fast even on the small computers and also this tool is the best and most robust cheep design tool in the world exist.

Due to excessive temp files sometimes the tool is crashing also when a design is exported out of DRAW as an AI or EPS, certain effects get rasterized. This needs a high attention

I'm using CorelDraw to draw Vector graphic files and create icons. Exporting the vector to any required format makes the process so simple. Main benefits using this tool compare to other tool is the speed and accuracy

Simple and easy tool is give more confident to create the designs.

Language is too hard too find the tools.

Use simple language or same tools name us adobe software. Its give more productive for designing. And company increase the revenue part. Overall business developed

All features are good, use to easly, Editing images is nice, Mostly usefull and helpful for graphics design students and also usefull for architecture students.

Some feature are so not good, and erase system Line editing system si boring, Some Heavy files are uploade here so the software is hang, So this is not good,

Line editing system si boring, Becase line color changing system If required line color change so the two time click the open color palette then change color if not satisfied this color so, I think Direct line color changing is good

Design tools and its vector design quality

Sometime is hangs on multiple window opening

Design. Time saver

It’s very much useful to create logos which has a lot editing features/options.

I don’t think any downsides on this software.

Designing visiting cards, logos are very much easy. Also the app features are great.

Now everything is so simple and clear. We are using it all the time.

Everything is good. No bad things to mention.

90% of work has been done with Corel Draw.
