Save time and create stunning designs and images with the extensive updates and new features in CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X8:

New compatibility and support: With full optimisation for Windows 10, take advantage of new resolution independent multi-monitor viewing, 4K and higher displays support and work with Windows Real-Time Stylus pen-compatible tablets, such as the Microsoft Surface, in addition to Wacom tablets and devices.

New Corel Font Manager: Finally take control of your ever-expanding font collection and make the most of the fonts you already own. Explore, handle and organise your fonts and typefaces quickly. It is ideal for professions that use fonts daily, from graphic design, illustration and publishing, to package design, sign making, advertising and website creation.

Enhanced Font filtering and search: Quickly find a specific font without spending time searching in multiple folders. For example, search for 'script fonts' or a specific character-set and the font list will show all the fonts on your machine that match the request.

Enhanced Knife Tool: Split any object or group of objects like vector, text and bitmaps – along straight, freehand or Bézier lines. Overlap objects or create a gap between the new objects after splitting them. Choose an outline option, or let the application automatically select the option that best preserves the outline appearance.

New design features requested by users: Manage complex projects with ease with the new Hide and Show Objects. Copy, paste, or duplicate pieces of existing curves with Copy Curve and explore the Gaussian Blur to adjust the degree to which the drop shadow feathers at its edges.

New and enhanced photo-editing features: Remove imperfections with the Healing Clone tool and use the enhanced Straighten Image to correct perspective distortions.

New workspace customisation: Be productive immediately with a workspace that matches your workflow. Alter the desktop and window borders colour, select a dark or light UI that suits the way you work, customise the size of text and icons, and open desktop windows within a floating window.

New learning tools: Get up and running quickly with a welcoming environment that provides easy setup, in-product learning resources, an improved Hints docker and more. See what’s new with either the complete Startup tour, or special product tour for existing power users of previous versions of CorelDRAW, Corel® PHOTO-PAINT® or other graphics applications.

Enhanced support for sharing and output: Rely on a collection of the latest industry-standard file formats and design features to create, prepare and deliver your finished product. Take advantage of expanded compatibility with formats like AI, PSD, PDF, JPG, PNG, SVG, DWG, DXF, EPS, TIFF, DOCX and PPT. The new Border and Grommet dialog box lets you create a banner from a page or selected objects. Whether you work on small-scale projects, such as logos and web graphics, or larger pieces, such as banners and car wraps, CorelDRAW delivers the output you need.

New CorelDRAW SDK & Developer Community: Create your own automation tools with support from the new CorelDRAW SDK & Developer Community site: community.coreldraw.com/sdk.
