CorelDRAW reviews

Explore CorelDraw

Opmerkingen: My creative juices are constantly flowing when I'm using this software, I just made a massive fashion catalog in a span of one week because the software reduces all the monotonous tasks I usually have to deal with to a minimal.

Pluspunten:

If you are a graphics professional looking for a powerful solution to boost your creativity, then look no further than the new CorelDRAW 2021 Graphics Suite. It amplifies the design process by giving you advanced illustrations and superb photo editing features that help you achieve nothing less than a masterpiece every time. The software comes with a versatility that will satisfy any creative need. It is an all-in-one graphic design suite for vector illustration, page layout, photo editing, font management and so much more.

Minpunten:

I was not able to find any cons about the software, I tried so hard to see were the faults were but till this day, I have been nothing but pleased with it.

Corel : Draw or Trace : Perfect solution provider.

Opmerkingen: Overall it is the fantastic software as there are many times when you don't know the size of the final output to be delivered and in which format.

Pluspunten:

CorelDRAW is a powerful software that allows designers to create professional quality images and art work that can be resized without losing clarity. This makes it perfect for all kinds of projects, and it can even convert regular images into these scalable artworks.

Minpunten:

If you have moved from Photoshop or Gimp than you may have coupled of bad days to get accustomed and get inherited by the GUI of Corel.

Your graphic designs and vector drawings are handled by CorelDRAW.

Opmerkingen: Indeed, CorelDRAW is a versatile and powerful software that is used in various domains such as illustration, product design, printing, and more.

Pluspunten:

The key feature that I love is its ability to work with vector graphics rather than raster images. This helps me with more precise manipulation and editing.

Minpunten:

I don't really like the interface it offers; I feel more comfortable with other interfaces that I have experienced in the past. Moreover, I haven't used it for over 6 months.

Graphic design makes easier

Opmerkingen: My graphic workflow becomes easier when I starter using CorelDraw. They have all what I needed in one place.

Pluspunten:

I like the simplicity of the software. They only focus on more important features.

Minpunten:

They don't integrate with AI. I hope in the future they can put AI features so users can have more flexibility to create anything.

it is very user friendly

Opmerkingen: In my city, where CorelDraw is widely used, I frequently work with printers. That's why I learnt to use it, and my experience has been positive in the areas I've stated. It should be mentioned that the learning curve is considerable. It serves numerous purposes, and practically all types of graphical puzzles can be handled smoothly even if you do not fully master it.

Pluspunten:

CorelDraw was once famous for its user-friendliness and straightforward UI. They were the first to release a version that permitted many pages in the same file, as well as form creation by dragging the mouse. Today, this virtue is preserved; it can work very well, and with good integration with other applications and prepress and printing processes, as well as the ability to export to almost any format in the graphic environment, it can very well cover the requirements that can be asked of a program like this.

Minpunten:

Despite the foregoing, I must admit that at some time, CorelDraw became stagnant and was replaced by superior capabilities from the competition (such as the shape generation tool or 3D mapping). On the other side, I observe some structural instability in the software, and sudden closures with data loss are a recurring issue that has yet to be resolved. They constantly release new versions with minor tweaks, but such fundamental issues are not addressed.

Vector image creator

Pluspunten:

easy to use, good performance, and UI friendly

Minpunten:

more tools like Adobe Illustrator tools

The one of the best at all for editing my design and my business, i really like it.. !

Opmerkingen: They are no problems in my experience with this application, like i see it the best one from all the application to use..

Pluspunten:

It’s amazing application for make your business easier for editing all your pictures, graphic design..! I really I’m using it so much more any thing..!

Minpunten:

I dont have nothing to say, but it’s good one application for making your work easier and you don’t spend a lot of time for your work ..

Great program if you're willing to put in the work

Opmerkingen: As a novice user, I find it to be very overwhelming as well as confusing as to why certain features won't work. I had to do a ton of research, buy how to's and I'm still just a novice. That being said, I am NOT a graphic designer by trade so take my view as biased towards a beginner's view. The program does appear to be very powerful and for the most part, it does what I need it to. I need to put in more work to understand/gain the knowledge as it is not the program's fault for my shortcomings.

Pluspunten:

My main use is creating vector files. These graphics/images that I work with need to be created into an outline image thus CDW is unable to trace an image in any format, it would be very time consuming to do it manually. CDW is good at this, not great.

Minpunten:

The tracing function can improve a good amount. There are a great deal of options, tabs, etc so if you're not going familiarize yourself with them, you not only lose out on a function, you really aren't using the program to its full potential. That being said, it is very overwhelming because of that.

Versatile Design Software with One Shortcoming

Opmerkingen: CorelDRAW is a versatile and feature-rich design software that has greatly improved my design capabilities.

Pluspunten:

I've been using CorelDRAW for my graphic design projects, and overall, I've had a highly positive experience. The software offers a wide range of powerful tools and features that make creating intricate designs a breeze.

Minpunten:

there is one aspect that falls a bit short. The learning curve for CorelDRAW can be steep for newcomers to graphic design software. While there are ample tutorials available, a more beginner-friendly onboarding process or interactive guides could be beneficial.

Best design application ever !!!

Pluspunten:

What I liked the most are the design features available, templates, typography, and unlimited color choices, which gives designers more choices.

Minpunten:

I really liked everything, nothing to say the software is perfect

Ease of Use for Tutors, Hardware considerations and Tools

Opmerkingen: Teaching this software comes with a bit of difficulty. I taught Corel Draw to High school students for years, and they struggled to recognise the tools as each new version was released quickly. However, there is some harmony in recent versions of icons in the app. I suggest user input is also taken to know the most used commands and make more of them readily handy. However, I have seen progress in this regard but not enough. I lose a lot of progress in my designs even when I save them because the app hangs halfway and erases my progress. My students wept when I instructed them to design MasterCard Debit cards because they shared the same experience. (Corel 2018). So it's definitely not I or my PC. More 3D effects need to be added, and they should be programmed into the app. More polls from designers will solve that issue for me. I experienced disharmony of colouring among varying hardware specifications. There should also be harmony in colours irrespective of hardware as long as the graphics requirement are met.

Pluspunten:

CorelDRAW gave me the flexibility to design anything my imagination could conceive. All the tools give the right effect in the right precision for whatever concept I dreamt of bringing to reality, and with ease. Ability to edit a document-like design in a document environment like MS-word is one of the best Experiences for designing a corporate letter headed document. It ensures you maintain document formatting of the originally typed text.

Minpunten:

Limited tools for certain effects, which forces you to improvise and combine different effects and tools to achieve your goals. I designed Bitcoin graphics in two PCs with the same exact colour code in the same exact system requirements and got a little colour variation. So colour output varies a bit due to hardware considerations not being harmonized.

Common-sense vector graphics software

Opmerkingen: Overall, I am very happy with CorelDraw and really enjoy using it. I've used it nearly every day since 2006.

Pluspunten:

CorelDraw is by far the easiest vector editing software to pick up and learn as an absolute beginner. I started using vector graphics with a combination of Adobe Illustrator and 3D Studio Max nearly 20 years ago and about 10 years later I was shown CorelDraw and I haven't gone back to Illustrator since.

Minpunten:

While CorelDraw may have a great UI and do a great job with creating and exporting vector images, there are (2) very distinct features that have always given me issues. 1) The text engine is very poor. Oftentimes, Corel cannot accurately display text position on a page unless the text is converted to curves. Draw is also absolutely dreadful with typing on a curve, especially around lower edges when it must align the spacing along the top of the letter. 2) when exporting a .jpeg proof, the 24-bit RGB format often changes the colors in the proof which can lead to rejections from the customer. (FYI: To fix this, export the image as CMYK from Draw, open in Photoshop and convert to RGB and re-save).

CorelDRAW is a great alternative to Adobe

Opmerkingen: 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.

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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.

Good vector illustration software

Opmerkingen: I used to use CorelDRAW when I started my professional journey but I soon switched over to other apps and CorelDRAW was all but forgotten. In late 2020, I bought the Humble Bundle bundle that included CorelDRAW and I was immediately star-struck. It is now a beautiful, modern, and very user friendly piece of software. I started using it for designing graphics that we put in our documentaries. I now use it together with all the other graphic software, especially when vectors would be a better option for the project, and I am extremely happy with it.

Pluspunten:

I love how much CorelDRAW improved in the last year. It went from being an ugly duckling to a beautiful and useful software. It even has a collaboration chat feature built in! It is also industry standard in printing shops which greatly helps streamline my other business.

Minpunten:

I like CorelDRAW and could not find anything wrong with it. If anything it is a great alternative to other vector illustration softwares like Adobe Illustrator.

The Best Graphics Editor

Opmerkingen: 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.

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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.

Making Simple Jobs for Newbie

Opmerkingen: So far it's been pretty good and I still use this software, especially for monochrome design work, it's quite helpful. I even use it to collaborate with other graphics software.

Pluspunten:

Honestly, the beginning of my career when I started design work was using Corel Draw software, maybe at that time, it was version 11 & 12. The impression when I was faced with the application was a simple display and easy-to-remember tools. Maybe this is the first step for beginners who want to seriously develop their talents and careers in graphic design. It doesn't take too long to understand each of the tools used. Quite fast and effective when applied directly to a simple job. For example, making invoices, books, letterforms, stamps, and making master images for screen printing.

Minpunten:

I will objectively convey the shortcomings of this application according to my capacity as a user. This software can often be said to crash when handling a fairly heavy job. In addition, the coloring looks a little pale, and the results of the export of pdf files whose colors are often not as expected. This is what makes me often get complaints from customers when they receive printing from us. I will objectively convey the shortcomings of this application according to my capacity as a user.

One of The Essential Software for Graphic Design

Opmerkingen: I have been using CorelDraw since i started my vocational highschool back around 2009. Currently i am using CorelDraw X7 to help me finish my work as Web and Graphic Designer. It isn't the most updated version but i can still find features or tools that i needed the most. I took Multimedia as my major when i was in highschool. I work a lot in creating vector image, especially for logo making. I work as Graphic Desiner as my side job when i went to college to help me cover up my bills. I work a lot in logo making, banner and flyer design and also some website layout design. I also did some comission art work for souvenirs or gift. Now i am using CorelDraw for building the brand of my company where i work a lot in graphic and visual for website and social media. CorelDraw is a part of my life i would say, if that doesn't sounds too cheesy. But seriously, CorelDraw has helped me in many aspects such as hobby, career and even financial. It is user friendly and challenging your creativity.

Pluspunten:

CorelDraw is one of the most essential software for graphic design. It helps you create many things such as vector illustration, logo, web graphics etc. It is easy to use and came with many advanced tools that you can use to build your professional project or art work. When you open the software to start a new project, it will first give you an option in which kind of graphic you would like to work. Start from the work area or page size, resolution and dimension. It is very important because it is related to the quality of your final project. Once you are in the work area or page, you can can always add a new page for each project but it will saved in one .cdr project file which i find it really convenient. Instead of having a lot of project file, you can have one project file which consist several works. Another thing, there is a hint tab which give you tips and tricks on designing.

Minpunten:

As a graphic design software, CorelDraw have so many tools which is makes it a little difficult to use if you have never work with any of graphic design software before. But you can always read the manual, watching tutorials or read the hint tab. Even though it has many tools, CorelDraw still lack of photo editing tools or features but i can still use Corel Photo-Paint if ineed to do a photo editing

Fantastic to use with a Wacom tablet or iPad

Opmerkingen: I was first introduced to this in grad school. I went to an art school and I got a free copy there. After a few years when that software was a bit outdated, I got the latest one. I used some other products and I'll be honest there's not a lot of variation in what this can do for me, but I find this one the easiest to use and for me that makes all the difference. I do a lot of pen and ink stuff, then I use Photoshop for revisions, edits and tweaks; and I'll use CorelDRAW for stylistic tweaks --you know, like vector something.

Pluspunten:

A lot of great features and tools. One reason I tend to go back to this product a lot is because of the different pen tips. I tend to use this with other products like Photoshop, Illustrator and so on, but with that said, I don't use this to it's full capacity. I'm a pen and ink artist, but I do use CorelDRAW for some digital additions or to experiment and for touch ups. I purchased this a while back, but I was able to download this on all my devices and that was great so now I can use it on any device. Definitely my Mac and PC have the most use with this but I use it for light sketches on my iPad too. There's a lot of advanced features here, but I haven't used it extensively. I like that there's a subscription service and a one time purchase too.

Minpunten:

I don't think there's really any cons. This can be expensive for some. But this is very high quality stuff. I also use Adobe Illustrator and I'd put the two on par. I'd only maybe prefer Illustrator because it's a bit easier for me to work with both Illustrator and Photoshop, but it's very easy to move vector images around here. Inkscape is a free vector imaging program which works incredibly well. I'd honestly suggest tinkering with that if you are just dabbling, but if not, I think this is a decent purchase with no real cons. Of course, this is coming from a person who uses this product a lot but not to its full potential.

Graphic Design Made Easy with CorelDraw!

Opmerkingen: I mostly do my graphic designs with CorelDraw and it has served me for so many years. Honestly, it is very reliable and can be used by anybody interested in designs generally. It only takes a little consistency.

Pluspunten:

I especially like the way CorelDraw improves on each upgrades to their software. The introduction of Artificial Intelligence is especially endearing to me. The developers recognise the competition in the AI field and the potential it has in assisting designers to finish up a task without too much strain. This is quite useful. I also appreciate the variety of tools available in CorelDraw, it makes it easy to apply different approaches to achieve a project in a much more creative way. Integration with other applications is another feature of this software that I appreciate. I can easily drag typed documents in MS Word to the Corel platform and continue my job.

Minpunten:

One major issue I often have with the software is that it sometimes crashes when I am working with heavy files. Although, I know that the memory of the computer contributes to a large extent but I suggest that the developers still have a look into this. Also, the volume of tools to be learnt in the Corel space can be somewhat overwhelming, especially for new users. In addition, Corel files saved in later versions do not open in earlier versions. If the developers can also do something about this, it will make working with the software more user-friendly.

Graphic design program of the highest quality and ease of use

Opmerkingen: Using CorelDraw, you can create professional designs and artworks. Because this program can import and export a wide variety of graphic files, it can be used for a wide variety of graphic design projects. Print materials such as brochures, posters, banners, flyers, and business cards may all be created with CorelDraw. It's also quite easy for us to come up with a lot of various layouts so that we can provide solutions with a variety of options.

Pluspunten:

The quality of this tool much exceeds the scope of any evaluation. No review, in my opinion, could do it justice. It's clear to me that this software has made my design team more efficient. You may use CorelDraw to turn a raster image into a vector design with ease. In terms of ease of use, the dynamic asset management tool is unmatched. Additionally, it features the best font management system in the world. You won't need to purchase any further tools after purchasing the suite. Everything you need is included in the suite and may be easily coupled with other modules to create new and better solutions. My team also benefits greatly from the assistance provided by the developers.

Minpunten:

Even though it's wonderful for beginners, it's not industry standard, making it difficult for teams to collaborate. CorelDRAW has a bad reputation for being a bit of a volatile beast. The program will slow down, stall, and in many cases stop working completely if you switch between different tools too quickly.

DTP Mastering Solution with Ease. Multipurpose Vector Illustration Design Suite

Opmerkingen: Highly Professional and Productive. Vector Design and Exports with Ease. Multi type of Suite Programs.

Pluspunten:

CorelDraw Universal Acceptance, Online Application, Proofing, Heavy Workloads. Largest Number of Export Data Formats.

Minpunten:

Monthly Subscription is Expensive but there should be a free Viewer. For Managing the Digital Designs and Documents.

coreldraw - perfect for layouts

Opmerkingen: we use it for layouting plans, text and renderings. as soon as one understands how the software works one can produce great layouts within short amounts of time.

Pluspunten:

powerful tool when it comes to layouting plans, text and renderings. images are referenced, so any change of the image is also done within corel, which is great and saves a lot of time. we created a number of templates, so for different uses like presentations, competitions we use different templates. this saves time and energy to concentrate on the quality of the work displayed. with many export options, nearly any professional software can be addressed, like photoshop or illustrator.

Minpunten:

the price. corel draw is a professional software, with very deep and complex workflows and possibilities, this comes with a price.

Quality above it all always, that is CorelDRAW!

Opmerkingen: 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.

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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.

CorelDraw meets all my graphic design needs

Opmerkingen: As an owner of a small digital marketing agency, I can't always afford different tools for different purposes. That's why I always choose software that will meet most of my requirements. CorelDraw is such software. I have a team of designers and they can easily create beautiful graphics with this tool for our campaigns. The workflow is super smooth and the integration with other tools is superb.

Pluspunten:

This tool is so good that I don't think any review can do justice to the software. I must say that this tool has helped me to increase the overall productivity of my design team. From raster image to vector design, CorelDraw got this covered. The dynamic asset management feature is very convenient. Also, it has the best in class font management system. The fun fact is that, once you have bought the suite you don't need to go for any other tools. The suite contains all the useful tools and one module can be easily integrated with other. Besides, the support from the developers help my team in many ways.

Minpunten:

This tool has various editions with differences in included features. This is a bit confusing for new users. So, they should create the product portfolio in such a way that it becomes easier to decide which on to go for.

Perfect vector graphics software for me

Pluspunten:

It is a very intuitive software and has all the tools so anybody who understands the logic, will be able to create very nice things. Also I love the online app.

Minpunten:

Somehow it's expensive, but the annual plan is a good solution.
