### "Needed a good graphic design software"

February 20, 2020

5.0

Very positive experience using Corel and great results.

Pros

The number of features of Corel in incredible. We changed our graphic display design now easily and often. Moving graphs and pictures around is very easy.

Cons

Finding features that are unknown is not easy and have had to ask other who have a longer use of the software was necessary to get things done in a reasonable amount of time.

Reason for choosing CorelDRAW

Recommendations from users.

### "A popular design software with its own charms"

January 28, 2023

5.0

Pros

CorelDRAW might have the most user-friendly interface compared to other graphics editors out there. Vector manipulation and tracing images in CorelDRAW are fast and easy with a full set of powerful commands. I also find it easier to learn.

Cons

When it comes to bitmap manipulation and image editing, CorelDRAW doesn’t fare better than competing software. Live chat and email/phone support can be improved.

### "Fantastic software!"

July 29, 2019

5.0

Pros

I liked how easy it was to use. I mostly use Adobe products, but thought I'd try this for a billboard I was making. It was actually much better to use than Adobe for the billboard and I was very surprised at how intuitive everything was. Also, if you do a lot of design, I think this software is much cheaper in the long run than the creative cloud.

Cons

I didn't find anything that I didn't like about it. From what I used, this software worked better than Adobe for what I needed.

It was easier for making a billboard than using Illustrator.

### "Powerful, effective graphic design software"

February 6, 2021

5.0

I would definitely recommend, this product is powerful, and gives you the ability to do an incredible amount once you learn it.

Pros

I really liked how powerful and tool rich this software is, there was so much I never even used. I made professional products with it.

Cons

There are just so many tools, it takes a while to learn, but that’s not really even a con! There’s not much that’s bad!

August 20, 2020

It is simple to use and useful for basic photo editing.

Pros

The menu and functions are easy to use and it automatically backs up jobs.

### "The OG"

December 14, 2018

4.0

Pros

It does everything you expect it to do, and then some. It may just take a little while to get there... (see cons)

Cons

I've noticed that Corel takes much longer to render and export files than many other design programs I have used. It doesn't quite add up with all of the other products on the market and the length of time they've had to catch up since essentially starting this market.

July 5, 2022

4.0

Pros

Its easy to learn. It has some cool features. It makes it fun to design and create art. My kids loved it.

Cons

It can be basic at times. I did prefer other software that had more pro-level features, but it was great for what it did.

### "Learned it quick :) "

May 16, 2019

5.0

Pros

It was pretty easy to follow the flow once I started to lean how to use this, it is not as complicated as others I have tried to learn, for quick photo fix, this is my go to!

Cons

We have a few people who need to use it but did not want to purchase the product for each person, so we all share one computer that has it whenever we need it = kind of a pain, but works out for us anyhow!

### "Corel Draw is easy and intuitive."

August 13, 2020

5.0

With the ease of using Corel Draw, I can solve my vector drawings faster and with this new version my way of working has improved even more.

Pros

Corel Draw has incredible strokes and brushes, its icons are very intuitive and easy to access, you can also use keyboard shortcuts.

Despite being very intuitive and easy to use, in some operations the computer is a little slow.

### "Once I learned this program, I use it for everything from designing posters and banners to logos."

July 2, 2018

5.0

Great help for design.

Pros

How many options it offers for creating quality works. I can create anything from banners to logos! I can create a template and edit many many photos for head shots. Love it!

Cons

Has a long learning curve. It took me almost a year of guessing and googling to learn how to use the program fully. There are still a huge amount of features I don't even know exist.

### "Up there with one of the best"

November 20, 2018

4.0

All in all, you either love it or you hate it, I've had tons of people in my field pick it up and never look back to Photoshop and the like, but I've also had an equal amount of people feel that it's just too complicated. In the end, it does what it needs to but its really not for everyone.

Pros

CorelDRAW combines all the best features of multiple design software in one so there's never any need to switch from one software to another which really streamlines the workflow. It creates clean high quality resizable vector images, web graphics, logos and really anything you can think up.

Cons

This is not for low end pc's at all, the software although it works, definitely demands a lot when it comes to processing power, which isn't always the greatest for people who can't afford such machines.

August 29, 2018

5.0

Pros

This software helped me create bookmarks for a charity project and sell over 4000 bookmarks and I just took less than 15 minutes to learn how to use the website.

Cons

This software has many advanced features which arent easy to use and dont have any online forums where we can learn how to use it

### "A good software for Designing"

July 21, 2019

4.0

Nice experience but Illustrator is better.

Pros

This has a very good set of tools that can be used to create very high class graphics for web as well as printing. I have used this very less. I have switched to Adobe Illustrator. I found better options over there.

Cons

Selection tools are not very comfortable. If we use Adobe Illustrator then the selection process is very comfortable as compared to CorelDraw. Also due to World Wide popularity of Adobe Illustrator, we can find of plenty of creative stuff free of cost on the Internet. Also their is better compatibility in Adobe Illustator and Adobe Photoshop as compared to CorelDraw Adobe Illustrator.

### "Great tool for Graphic Design"

July 21, 2018

4.0

I was able to teach my Graphic Design Class the basics of CorelDRAW.

Pros

CorelDraw offers a basic to mid range graphics program suited for those who are either new or getting back into Graphic Design or who need a less expensive program to get work done.

Cons

Tho it's mid range there are limitations with CorelDRAW that other programs do offer for those who need to do more advanced work.

### "Not good enough"

April 2, 2019

3.0

Pros

If you are looking for an editing solution, this is a basic, pretty difficult solution to use. Corel is an old fashioned software, it is pretty difficult to use if you are not a designer with expertise.

Cons

Not easy to use, instead choose adobe illustrator, is far much better and easy to use.

### "I can design all that I want"

June 30, 2020

5.0

I have been using this software since I was in high school, and it has been very useful for designing covers, logos, advertisements of courses, etc.

Pros

I love being able to save my designs in many formats and the software is compatible with office programs such as excel and word

Cons

It is a bit complicated to handle at the beginning, also it takes up a lot of space on the hard disk, after this all is ok

### "Fully functional vector software but its not the best and its not the best value."

January 30, 2018

5.0

I don't see any reason for buying this software either buy the best or go for one of the much less expensive but capable options.

Pros

This is a very capable vector drawing software. But I haven't found a good reason to invest in it. It isn't the best or the industry standard. I would opt for it's more popular competitor even if it is somewhat more expensive. If I wanted to save money or couldn't afford the industry standard, there are other much less expensive options that work as well.

Cons

Value for the money just isn't here. If you aren't the industry standard or don't offer features that blow the competition away (CorelDraw is neither) you have to compete on price. CorelDraw has some very good and much less expensive competition.

### "Very good alternative to Adobe products"

August 22, 2019

5.0

I use it mostly for occasional graphics work, when I need to work with vector graphics.

Pros

No subscription model, which can save a lot of money in the long term. Does everything as alternative Adobe products.

Cons

Rarely, but does sometimes crash. There are some features that could be in the standard package, but are only available in the premium one.
