### "Quality above it all always, that is CorelDRAW!"

April 26, 2022

5.0

I can’t complain at all. The quality of my service increased a lot and my design team is working faster and happier. The quality of CorelDRAW is fantastic, even with their minor issues.

Pros

This software is extremely user friendly, nobody in my team had troubles with it. It has a multi page layout function that helps A LOT when we’re making large reports. High resolution in this software is the default, it’s incredible! It also has the ability to mantain this high resolution exporting into various formats.

Cons

Sometimes, when exporting to PNG, the archive corrupts somehow, I’ve had 2 transparent files that wasn’t 100% transparent. Everytime that the software upgrades, some things change their place or name, thats a bit cofusing at first, but you get used to it.

### "Soulful creatives, artworks and graphic designs for all business needs"

March 9, 2022

5.0

Our Designer prefers & uses CorelDraw over any other software but within the marketing department, we also prefer to do partial work in Illustrator to maintain balance.

Pros

We use CoralDraw in Marketing Team for all our Graphic Designing needs. It's our Go-To-Tool that meets all our customization needs for designing: - Page Layout - Photo editing - Developing Creatives, Logos, Signage, Designs, Posters, Newsletters, Printing Products, Posters, Advertisements etc.

Cons

It's very slow and goes into a Hang mode quite often. At times, heavy files even go corrupt and it becomes extremely difficult to retrieve the file once lost.

Reason for choosing CorelDRAW

CorelDraw provides a complete solution in one software to meet all graphic designing needs.

### "Practica y moderna herramienta de diseño gráfico con relacion costo 7 rendimiento"

May 30, 2023

4.0

En términos generales considero a CorelDraw una buena herramienta para crear trabajos de tipo estandar teniendo en cuenta que no es tan caro economicamente y se puede aprender rapidamente

Pros

Me gusta lo práctico o sea lo fácil que es aprender a manejarlo, con su menús laterales es muy agradable e intuitivo abrir las herramientas que se necesitan para trabajar con él

Cons

No me gusta que le haga falta algunas herramientas para pulir algunos detalles o que estas no sean tan precisas, por ejemplo cuando trato de utilizar la ubicación milimetrica de un elemento y aun utilizando el zoom falla la posición de una línea

Molto buona ma lo sostituirei con programmi simili, magari però è adatto per chi si approccia per la prima volta a questo tipo di interfaccia e di software

Pros

Il software si presenta molto intuitivo e di facile gestione, le funzionalità sono varie ed alcune essenziali per questo tipo di programma. Un buon programma per iniziare a progettare graficamente

Cons

Rispetto ai programmi concorrenti è più scarno e non permette alcune tipologie di lavorazione

January 5, 2024

CorelDraw is very good designing software but compare to photoshop lot of features missing in CorelDraw. It's too slow processing and some tools are not working correctly So, completely I am not comfortable with CorelDraw.

Pros

CorelDRAW is Similar to photoshop all photoshop will easily handle to the CorelDRAW. They providing lot of Image editing options, and price wise very less compare to photoshop.

Cons

Pen tools not working properly Image and editing options are very complicated. More number of feature missing compare to photoshop it's very hard to handle Drag and Drop. It's not supported for low configuration laptops. Completely I am not comfortable with CorelDraw .

### "CorelDRAW is a great alternative to Adobe"

March 10, 2020

5.0

As a small business owner and illustrator, I needed a program that would allow me to create excellent illustrations that could be professionally printed, but not break the bank. CorelDRAW's interface is intuitive, and I can customize it to suit my needs. It has all of the tools I desire, or create my own, and allows me to export to multiple formats to suit my needs.

Pros

I create a good number of vector-based illustrations for my clients and my products. CorelDRAW is less expensive than other programs but still features most if not all the bells and whistles like an intuitive interface, a long list of tools and brushes, and exporting of files in .eps, .ai, .psd, .pdf formats. I don't require customer service fro the program very often, but when I did, they were there to help solve the issue quickly and efficiently.

Cons

Like any power-hungry illustration program, it can be a bit laggy unless you have a high-end computer, but most illustrators will have one anyway. Since Adobe is the industry standard for illustration, there are more apps and templates available. CorelDraw has some through their community, but not as vast as Adobe.

Alternatives considered

[Adobe Illustrator](https://www.capterra.com/p/227125/Adobe-Illustrator/)[Inkscape](https://www.capterra.com/p/178240/Inkscape/)[GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program)](https://www.capterra.com/p/168960/GIMP/)

Reason for choosing CorelDRAW

Adobe is the industry standard when it comes to illustration, but for artists just starting, it is exorbitantly expensive. I tried many of the free options, but at the time, CorelDRAW was an affordable solution that offered the closest match to Adobe.

### "Image Manipulation at a mouse click"

February 12, 2021

5.0

Overall, this app has all the functionalities needed to create professional outputs of your image projects, has a lot of options for effects, nice and smooth rendering, added vector function and ability to export in different formats.

Pros

This was the first app I used for my photo manipulation projects and although it was quite overwhelming learning its interface at first, it was worth it. I was lazy to learn this until I discovered tricks like background removal, masking effects, recoloring, making composites and collages, recoloring, deblurring, etc. These functionalities make a not so professional picture turn into a pro by a few mouse clicks. I also learned from this software how important vector graphics is when I learned about logo and icon creation, since it avoids the hassle of resizing non high resolution images into a bigger canvass which ends up pixelated. The vector functionality allowed me create my own designs as I was fascinated by Manga and anime at that time. In addition, the paths function was really amazing as it allows text to follow the contours of my image designs.

Cons

All I can say is that this app requires higher RAM, like most multimedia apps, as it creates lagtime especially when stacking up multiple layers with high resolution and large image sizes.

Reason for choosing CorelDRAW

The other apps have limited functionality and although Adobe Photoshop is comparable to CorelDraw, the added vector functionality is attractive since I was heavily into Manga and Anime designing at that time. And even with logo creations, it provides you a lot of room to enhance your designs, with a few downloadable preset templates.

### "Great tool for good price"

September 28, 2022

4.0

It was a great app that we used at the beginning of our business, the relatively low cost allowed us to start with ease

Pros

Although CoreDraw does not have all the features and functionality as Photoshop it is a great app for a relatively low price especially for those with a lower budget

Cons

Lacks functionality and features that some other apps have, limiting what you can do with it especially if you have a business

### "I've used CorelDRAW since version 1.2!"

September 18, 2023

5.0

Overall I am a devoted user even though I have lost countless hours of work from the software crashing mid job. Auto save has NEVER worked. It is still my best option for Graphic design even with its flaws.

Pros

CorelDraw is affordable and is an excellent tool for T-shirt art. It is great for spot color design and separations.

Cons

There are always new glitches in each new version Some never get fixed. The screen-printing users are widely ignored by Corel Corp. when we number in the millions of users. The two greatest features that should have been added years ago are the mixing of spot colors at on single point in a fade or fil, and universal color swap within a document regardless of tint.

### "CorelDRAW: Une suite de logiciels polyvalent!"

September 23, 2023

5.0

CorelDRAW est une suite de logiciels de conception graphique très puissante et polyvalente. Son prix est abordable par rapport aux autres logiciels de sa catégories.

Pros

CorelDRAW offre une gamme complète d'outils de conception graphique, y compris des fonctionnalités de dessin vectoriel, d'édition d'images, de mise en page de documents et de retouche photo. Il prend en charge de nombreux formats de fichiers comme les fichiers et offre la possibilité de travailler avec d'autres logiciels comme adobe photoshop et illustrator.

Cons

Même si CorelDRAW prenne en charge certains formats de fichiers Adobe, la compatibilité avec les logiciels Adobe n'est pas toujours garantie, ce qui peut poser des problèmes aux utilisateurs d'Adobe.

### "Designersm's first choise is corel draw."

February 22, 2023

5.0

Corel draw is on 2nd from my top ten list. It could be my first choise if it updated with advance theme for user.

Pros

It is a clever piece of software that is simple to learn and incredibly intuitive. In just a few days, you will be able to utilise nearly all of the key tools required to create, export drafts.

Cons

The lack of a function that allows for the entire removal of an image background makes altering photographs rather challenging. Also, the software lacks an internet platform, which would be a fantastic addition since it might be accessed from anywhere, increasing the dependence on the platform.

### "“Awesome Graphic Designing Software”"

April 26, 2020

4.0

CorelDRAW is an excellent software that I used for a long time for my graphic designing work. I use this to design advertisements, logos, leaflets, and greeting cards for my university clubs and all. This software is really extraordinary and capable to make something beyond expectations. I highly recommend this software to use u all who interested in graphic designing.

Pros

CorelDRAW is capable to use easily and I like the extraordinary features it has. Fast opening of design projects is one of the features I like in this software. It consists of perceptive tools which lead this software for fast opening. When we want to prepare posters, brochures, and cards immediately, we can begin it with accessible templates without beginning it from scratch. CorelDRAW consists of the tab which gives hints and tips when designing. Hence that feature was very useful to me when my beginning period for graphic designing. CorelDRAW software is obvious to use in vector drawing than other software. Some amazing features I love to use this software are consists of shaping docker which gives an enormous usage, having blur feature, ability to create fresh designs, multi-monitoring facility, curving ability, make ease of use with training videos it has and the ability to search fonts and filtering. Try and figure out these amazing features of this software!

Cons

In my opinion, there are not many disadvantages in this software. This software is a bit expensive and some people cannot afford it. Sometimes it is difficult to learn the functions in this software for beginners. In my computer sometimes CorelDRAW software is lagging when using it. I hope these downsides will recover in the new version.

### "CorelDraw the best powerful graphic editor available"

September 26, 2021

4.0

This software is really one of the best old software's for graphic and vector editing. It performs well once you get understanding on how to use it. I would urge people to use since learning how to use it not that complicated.

Pros

First what I liked about this software is because it is user friendly, it is easy to operate or use that software. Another this is its interface, it is so really simple in that I did not have any difficulty working with the features and components to come up with something productive. Another thing I like about this software is that it is available in more than platforms. Lastly it has an excellent collaboration tool in the comments sections which enables other users comment on its artwork without necessarily downloading the application.

Cons

Sometimes loading this application takes a lot time and this is really boring. Its pricing is somehow high compared to adobe related software's. It also has free version although it has limited features. I don't have much more negative about this software since it addresses all issues related to editing.

### "CorelDraw Review"

June 9, 2023

5.0

Pros

I find CorelDRAW Graphics Suite to be a powerful vector graphics editor that offers a variety of impactful features. With its dedicated Symmetry feature, I can create symmetrical objects and designs in real-time, saving me valuable time. The software also provides tools like Draw in Perspective, LiveSketch, and Pointillizer, which I find efficient and user-friendly. I appreciate how the workspace is organized and the design and layout functionality is seamlessly integrated, making it easy for me to navigate and use. Additionally, the extensive file compatibility allows me to smoothly transition from other software applications. As a graphic designer, illustrator, and digital artist, I believe CorelDRAW Graphics Suite is an excellent choice, offering both power and intuitive usability for my creative work.

Cons

It doesn't support importing a lot of other types of file especially when they are not saved as .cdr

### "The Best Graphics Editor"

October 30, 2019

5.0

Overall, We recommend CorelDRAW as an excellent choice for logo designers vector art creators. As it has tons of features excellent for designing various kinds of arts. Also, most of the brands use CorelDRAW for their logo designing. Moreover, game designers also use CorelDRAW to create game graphics and details as they can intensify them according to their needs.

Pros

Designing: CorelDRAW is simply powerful and versatile software. It grants a remarkable opportunity for its users in creating logos and graphics. If one needs to create vectors for logos, graphics, or any other reason this software will be the best choice. The intensity of graphic designing can also be changed using CorelDRAW which makes it an excellent platform for its users. Vector illustrations: CorelDRAW can be used in very different ways such as it can be used to make illustrations equipped with 3D effects. There are tons of options within the software itself to produce vector-based arts with the quality of any scale. Also, it comes with a variety of tools that aid users in creating custom designs.

Cons

Experience: CorelDRAW is not easy to learn or easy to use the software. To use it at a professional level one needs a tremendous amount of time and patience. The mechanics of this software are not simple. It can be very challenging for users especially for newbies to get familiar with all of its abilities. RAM: CorelDRAW comes with all the features but none of it comes for free. A decent amount of RAM is required for the software to make it work properly. The users cannot own the software completely and have to subscribe to a specific plan according to their needs.

### "Corel perdendo funções para a concorrencia."

July 11, 2023

5.0

O corel para mim é um mundo de possibidades, conhecendo edição e o uso das ferramentas consigo fazer artes finais com facilidade , importo imagens e uso a função exportar para outras extensões e isso ajuda muito na hora de salvar .

Pros

O corel draw é um programa antigo se não for o primeiro de edição gráfica que conheci.Sempre útil e extremamente fácil de mexer e editar , simples de importar e exportar para outra linguagem . Um sistema de fontes bastante legal e simples de instalar. Para profissionais de desenhos do zero talvez seja o unico desta categoria trazendo a real confecção da sua imagem.

Cons

O corel anda perdendo para praticidade de uso, a concorrência está deixando edições mais limpas e fáceis de fazer, num sistema copia e cola qualquer pessoa consegue fazer uma arte final .Já no Corel mesmo importando tem que ntender o minimo de edição e uso das ferramentas.

La semplicità dei tool per lo sviluppo di una campagna o una pagina pubblicitaria, ottima l'integrazione dei testi e gli strumenti per la vettorializzazione di loghi, immagini semplici o icone. Vasta palette colori e strumenti di ritaglio e power clip delle immagini. Facilità nel copiare caratteristiche da un oggetto o un testo all'altro. Interessanti gli strumenti di composizione, permettono grande libertà nella creatività

### "Saved our project in a time of budget cuts"

June 15, 2021

5.0

My overall experience with CorelDraw has been very exciting. My first attempt at it was as a result of budget cuts to my project, which meant that we could not afford to hire a graphic designer to produce the materials we needed. So I had a week to go from reading the manual guide for the very first time to creating professional-looking logos and designs. As challenging as the experience was, it has also been one of my most enjoyable tasks every undertaken.

Pros

The interface is very light on the eyes. I didn't have to struggle to much to get acquainted to the workflow and understand how to apply all the tools and features I needed to be productive. I also like that it is equally competent in working on existing material, as well as creating from scratch.

Cons

I honestly do not have any complains about the software. It has been a life saver for me and my project.
