The user interface of CorelDRAW
Once you’re in, you can start with templates for essentials like logos, brochures, menus, resumes, and most common design needs or create your own design from scratch. However, I found the templates to be very limited compared to what Canva and Adobe Express offer. But they still get the job done.

Surprisingly, I liked the templates it had for infographics, and I absolutely loved that I could easily customize them to my satisfaction.
Designing infographics on CorelDRAW
CorelDRAW offers a significantly larger canvas size compared to many other design tools, which I think makes it ideal for working on large-scale projects like banners, signages, posters, or detailed illustrations.
A major drawback is, however, performance. The tool often slowed down, even with simple designs, and it took up a lot of my system memory, which can become frustrating when working on larger projects.
Overall, I found CorelDRAW to be a robust option for professional designers who need precision and advanced tools for vector work. If you’re serious about design and willing to invest the time (and money) to learn it, you’ll find that CorelDRAW has everything you need to deliver exceptional results. But I wouldn’t recommend it for simple and quick design needs.
CorelDRAW offers both subscription-based and one-time licensing plans. However, it might be pricey for some users.
What I liked about CorelDRAW:
- Essential templates for most design needs that can be customized
- Well-suited for large-scale and technical projects
What are G2 users saying:
“Corel Draw is very easy to use. It didn’t take me much time to learn it. It is just drag-and-drop, and you can easily make any changes you want in your design. It’s just very easy compared to Illustrator or Photoshop, etc. I can do any customization in Corel, like editing a picture, creating a vector, converting text to a curve, and making any changes I want with the text, like changing the shape of any specific letter, etc.
