Legacy version of a popular graphics editing program with support for photos, web graphics, drawing and various other tools by Corel.
What is CorelDRAW? It's an image editing application which was originally the most popular back in the early days of Windows that went far beyond what many image editors were capable of and has culminated in what we see today.
If you're looking for a program which is versatile and able to work with many different types of graphics, then this image editing suite might just be what you're looking for.
Back in the day, CorelDRAW was almost on the same footing as Adobe Photoshop when it came to graphics editing, but it kind of just faded into history and nobody has heard that much about it when you consider the explosion of different graphics editors in today's age. With that said though, the application still has a loyal following of users.
Corel is specifically an image editor capable of dealing with and editing vector graphics and can also handle JPEG, PNG and other popular formats. It is highly adaptable for working with illustrator-type projects and is also suitable for web designers. You can create web graphics, vector images, high quality animations or edit photographs.
Includes a number of modules for editing vector-based graphics
CorelDRAW also comes with some neat and useful utilities including Corel CONNECT, Corel PHOTO-PAINT, Corel CAPTURE and Corel PowerTRACE. All tools which help you organize, search, edit, take screen captures and convert bitmaps into vector images.
One good thing to note is that there are several different sites online which post useful tutorials which provide useful tips. There are also different brushes and filters which you can download in order to increase the functionality of this image editor. You can also apply the core effects to images without installing third-party plugins.
The software download is perfect not only for those getting their feet wet with web design, but also those who have a history and experience with graphics design; especially those who actually know what a vector object is.
This program functions as a full version for 30 days until you're asked to provide an activation key. You can request the key from Corel after you have completed the purchase of the program. Taking a nod from Adobe's Photoshop suite, Corel also offers a discounted student version.
Compatibility and License
This download is licensed as shareware for the Windows operating system from graphics editors and can be used as a free trial until the trial period ends (after an unspecified number of days). The CorelDRAW 2024 25.0.0.230 demo is available to all software users as a free download with potential restrictions and is not necessarily the full version of this software.
What version of Windows can CorelDRAW run on?
CorelDRAW can be used on a computer running Windows 11 or Windows 10. Previous versions of the OS shouldn't be a problem with Windows 8 and Windows 7 having been tested. It's only available as a 64-bit download.
