CorelDRAW is a vector graphics editor and design software developed by the Canadian company Corel (now Alludo). It is used primarily for creating and editing vector graphics, illustrations, and layouts, allowing users to manipulate objects such as shapes, colors, sizes, and positions without losing quality. CorelDRAW supports working with multiple layers and pages, making it flexible for various design projects
. The software is popular for graphic design tasks including freehand vector drawing, packaging design, industrial design, and production art such as signmaking, vinyl cutting, laser engraving, and print-on-demand. It is known for its relatively simple learning curve and user-friendly interface, which makes it accessible to less experienced designers, although it may have fewer advanced features compared to professional standards like Adobe Illustrator
. CorelDRAW is part of the CorelDRAW Graphics Suite, which also includes tools like Corel Photo-Paint for bitmap image editing and Corel Font Manager for managing fonts. The suite offers a comprehensive set of tools for vector illustration, layout, photo editing, and typography. It is available on Windows and macOS platforms, with a browser-based version (CorelDraw.app) for online use and collaboration
. Originally released in 1989, CorelDRAW has evolved through many versions and remains a widely used tool in graphic design, especially in industries such as apparel, garment, and textile manufacturing
