CorelDRAW Graphics Suite is a collection of graphics software programs developed by Corel for Windows and macOS. The programs can create illustrations, logos, brochures, flyers, designs, and other types of graphics-related artwork

The following applications are included in CorelDRAW Graphics Suite:

  • CorelDRAW - A vector illustration and page layout program
  • Corel PHOTO-PAINT - An image-editing application for digital photos
  • Corel Font Manager - A utility for managing fonts
  • Corel CAPTURE (Windows only) - A single-click screen capture utility
  • CorelDRAW.app (subscribers only) - A vector illustration and graphic design app for the web or iPad that allows collaborative file review and designing on the go

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite applications can create and edit both vector and raster graphics. The apps include an extensive royalty-free graphics library of clip art, fonts, vehicle templates, and other digital images available for editing. The programs support more than one hundred different file formats, including many bitmap and vector illustration file types, CAD drawings, Microsoft Word documents (.DOC and .DOCX files), camera RAW files, and files generated from Adobe Creative Cloud programs such as .PSD and .AI files.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite apps allow you to set up your workspace how you want it, even to look like Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator if you are transitioning from those applications. CorelDRAW also includes extensive educational tools and documentation for users at various experience levels. The built-in guidebook introduces each application’s workspace and provides in-depth tutorials and insights from industry experts. The software also includes hours of video tutorials.

Summary

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite is a compelling choice whether you are a casual user retouching photos or a graphics professional creating web and print designs. It offers a wide selection of graphics editing tools and effects and supports many popular image and camera RAW file formats. Also, CorelDRAW Graphics Suite can be purchased rather than rented, making it an attractive option for users who want to avoid software subscriptions, such as Adobe Creative Cloud.
