At its heart is CorelDRAW, a powerful vector drawing tool (with page layout features) that\u2019s often unfairly left in the shadows of its better-known rivals from Adobe.<\/p>\n<p>CorelDRAW is the main attraction here, and thanks to innovative features like LiveSketch, a tool to freely sketch vector art direct on your computer rather than start with paper thumbnails, it\u2019s a powerful and compelling option for professional designers. Worried about a steep learning curve? The app comes with clear training videos and lots of other help features to get Adobe switchers up and running quickly.<\/p>\n<p>One of CorelDRAW\u2019s best features is the fact it\u2019s an exercise in restrained evolution rather than revolution \u2013 each new iteration introduces a handful of new features and refines existing ones rather than trying to overwhelm the user with a smorgasbord of new features they\u2019ll spend a year discovering.<\/p>\n<p>There are minuses \u2013 CorelDRAW isn\u2019t available as a standalone app; instead, it\u2019s bundled with extra (and possibly superfluous) tools in the form of Corel PHOTO-PAINT for editing and prepping photos, plus font manager, screen-capture tool and Aftershot HDR, a tool for correcting RAW and JPEG photos. This leads to an eye-popping retail price, although half-price upgrades and an annual subscription do make it more affordable for smaller businesses and professionals.<\/p>\n<p>Also \u2013 thankfully \u2013 you can download a trial to see if it\u2019s worth the cost of transitioning from your current package. Given the number of features CorelDRAW has that aren\u2019t found natively in Illustrator, that may be an exercise worth pursuing.<\/p>\n<section>\n<h5>Verdict:<\/h5>\n<p>A worthy alternative to Adobe\u2019s design and drawing packages, with a small learning curve for switchers. The native Mac release is a welcome bonus.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\tRating:<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t(1)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>Operating Systems:Windows 10, Windows 11<\/li>\n<li>License:Trial Software<\/li>\n<li>Developer:Software Cost:<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFree\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCategory<\/li>\n<p>\t\t\t\tDesign &amp; Illustration<\/p>\n<li>Date Updated:05 March 2026<\/li>\n<li>Downloads To Date:138665<\/li>\n<li>Languages:English<\/li>\n<li>Download Size:3.00 MB<\/li>\n<h2 class=\"printOnly\">\n\t\t\t\t\tSpecifications\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n<h2>Requirements<\/h2>\n<p>Windows 11 or Windows 10 (Version 21H2 or later), 64-bit<br \/>\n8GB RAM<br \/>\n5.5GB min HD space<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"printOnly\">\n\t\t\t\t\tChangelog\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n<h1>Deal of the Day<\/h1>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t-25%<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<s><\/s><\/p>\n<h4>Xara Photo &amp; Graphic Designer 16<\/h4>\n<p>\t\tA one-stop photo editing, illustration and design tool<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<button type=\"button\">Buy Today and Save<\/button><\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<\/aside>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CorelDRAW Graphics Suite is \u2013 as its name suggests \u2013 more than a single program.
