CorelDRAW Reviews & Product Details

For the past 1.5 years, I have been using a licensed version of CorelDRAW 2024, and I’m very satisfied with the software. Its user-friendly and customizable interface makes it easy to adapt to different workflows. The vector design tools are particularly strong, allowing me to create professional, detailed designs with ease.

I mainly use CorelDRAW 2024 for book design and also vector graphics, brochure design, logo design, poster design etc. often working with files of more than 200 pages. Although I occasionally experience crashes when opening very large files (even on a high-spec system with an MSI Katana F66-11 and a 6GB 3060 graphics card), the overall performance is reliable. The customer support and online resources have also been helpful for troubleshooting and skill improvement.

While there is room for improvement in the photo editing capabilities, CorelDRAW remains an essential and dependable tool in my workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software occasionally crashes when importing large PDF files, and I also experience crashes when opening very large project files. Improving stability for handling heavy files would greatly enhance the overall user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its an OG graphic tool used for creating vector illustrations It is very strong at vector graphics, high precision for logos, signs, large format print. Good set of tools for photo editing included (Corel PHOTO-PAINT) so fewer separate apps needed. Wide file format support (AI, PDF, SVG, etc.). Recent AI/machine-learning enhancements (improved bitmap-to-vector tracing, etc.) help speed up tedious tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Crashes with large or complex files, performance may lag on less powerful machines. Needs a lot of practice to master the tool, not easy to use. Customer support is bad Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There seems to be a mention of a failed integration for users familiar with the earlier version of CorelDRAW. Another comment alludes to an initial setup difficulty, suggesting a potentially challenging learning curve when starting with the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CorelDRAW offers a smooth and professional design experience with powerful vector editing tools and intuitive layout options. It’s great for logo design, posters, and print materials. The interface is easy to learn, and the software runs efficiently even on mid-range PCs. I also like the wide range of templates and color management tools, which make my design workflow faster and more precise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the software lags when working with very large files or complex effects. The subscription updates can be confusing, and certain advanced features feel slightly outdated compared to competitors like Adobe Illustrator. Integration with other design platforms and cloud sharing could also be improved to make collaboration easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have difficulty using CorelDRAW and it doesn't work well on macOS devices. Additionally, the fact that it is only available as a paid version is a problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Vector editing is very precise, ideal for logos, technical illustrations, or any design that needs to be scaled without losing quality.

Regarding print management, CMYK colors, bleeds, crop marks... it has everything necessary for what you see on the screen to be printed exactly as is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Corel is more accessible than other programs in many aspects, but the first time it can be confusing. Some functions are "hidden" or not as intuitive if you come from other environments like Adobe.

The updates are not of great contribution. Some new versions do not bring really significant changes, which is frustrating if you are paying a subscription.

With very large files or in newly released versions, there can be unexpected crashes or minor errors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CorelDRAW is one of the best graphic design suites for price-performance ratio.

What I like:

Excellent balance between features and cost.

Complete tools for vector and bitmap graphics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When the subscription expires, it becomes too intrusive with notifications and limitations.

There can be installation issues, especially when Visual Basic is present. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
