Xara Designer Pro is a software that I like because it has a great graphics package, it also has a lot of marketing materials that help me in my business.

This software may have a very simple interface but it is very easy to use, I really like that. It is also a super fast software and I love that.

Xara Designer Pro puts you at your fingertips very beautiful templates and with very creative designs.

I'm really struck by the variety of tools that this software has as well as the graphics options it has. I love the colors, the zoom and the pixels.

The support and help team are very good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is not something that I dislike about Xara Designer Pro, but there is something that bothers me and it is that it has problems with widgets that work both on the PC and on the mobile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like the best about using Xara, is it's fast image tracing, with perfect results, it's one powerful tool, with many functions, such as shadow tool, automatically back-ups, transparency tool and more! Very user-friendly feel more professional than other software I've demoed in the past. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike the most about Xara, is I cannot use it directly on my macbook pro, which is a shame, since this is the perfect software out there and I cannot use it portable on the go. I hope to see it support MacOS in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very easy to use, The layout and the effects were very convenient and user friendly, along with some of the cool proprietary stuff they had that I was able to do such as animation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There was not much not too like. I think there were a lot of features that made it somewhat overwhelming, but other than that, great tool!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Vector-based graphic design and tool. Large array of drawing/graphic tools available with a good vendor eco-system for plug-ins and additional options. Great on-line community with tutorials, help and user support.

Makes working with graphics and designing diagrams easy and fast.

The zooming capabilities for pixel-perfect graphics is just great. The multi-layering tools and colour management is great also. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much to dislike about Xara, which is why I use it after evaluating a whole bunch of graphics programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Xara Designer Pro offers an excellent graphics package that provides; graphic design, illustrations, marketing materials (brochures, flyers, used as print or PDF), and simple website design. Once you learn the concepts the program gives you a lot of flexibility and is fairly easy to use. The design gallery templates provide a great starting place for many design projects. The program is fast! I have a small 2-n-1 laptop-tablet I use for one on one meetings. The laptop is not very powerful but Xara runs just fine. Learning, support and help via the available help, videos and user forum are very good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

On websites, there are some issues with embedded widgets working on both desktop and mobile variants. Would like to see that improved. Direct support from Xara could be better. I usually get support from a user forum. I would very much like Xara to add a good table tool similar to MS Word. I usually build tables in Word and bring them into Xara.

Much more user friendly than other design applications. Much more professional and especially about the cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not as compatible with Macs and specific apple design products such as iphoto etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Xara Designer is a vector based editor. It's not good just for web graphics, buttons, frames etc. but it's absolutely gorgeous for illustrations too. I use it for for cartooning, comics or T-shirt designs for example. It's supersimple to use and really fast to rendering big and complex scenes.

Best benefits

+ cost

+ fast editing

+ multi core and x64 support

+ tablet (pressure) support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Well, not much. I think the biggest problem is an absence to switch between RGB and CMYK colours. Xara supports CMYK but can't simple switch between them. Your options are 1) manually change colors one by one for the CMYK ones and it's very long time process - or 2) simulate print colours from submenu. But there is no colours profile to choose so this could be very limited for printing... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. It's fast and it can do image tracing easily.

2, It can automatically back-up.

3. Feather transparency tool, which create fast multy color gradient and shading,

4. Shape cutting or merging can be done in short-cuts, can cut whole group of objects or image.

5. Fast and cool shadow tool.

6. Compatible with Adobe Illustrator. I can copy-paste simple objects between them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. It doesn't have smart guides like Adobe Illustrator.

2. Effects are lagging.

3. No continuous duplicating like Adobe Illustrator.

4. "Convert line to shape" tool is not as good as "Out-line stroke" in Adobe Illustrator.

5. Cannot select similar objects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This program I can say so many things that I like that would not end. I love the workspace very clean compared to other design programs like Adobe that are very saturated. It has very basic tools, but they are large enough to create professional design ideas with nothing to envy of other programs. Creating 2D animations easily with export potential in Flash and GIF. I can open many formats such as: ai, psd, eps, svg, eps without losing valuable design objects. I can create presentations with a variety of transitions and the ability to add different formats such as: flash, gif, video, audio. I really like the Live Effect Tool is used to create effects in your vector formats like png and jpg images and texts with excellent finishes. I love the ease with which I think modern web pages without knowledge of web language. Upload the web created is so easy and also edit it, because it does not require external programs from Xara Designer Pro can create, upload and edit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It requires a lot of memory when working on different projects divided by tabs. Memory intensive effects when applied to a Live Effect Tools file. Stops working often saturation of memory capacity without warning.It closes unexpectedly when the control rods are unconfigured and corresponds reposition each where we like. No version in Spanish.
