Buy CorelDRAW Essentials 2024 for Windows

Description

Graphic design for everyday projects

Whether you are preparing an invitation, designing a greeting card or putting together images for social media, CorelDRAW Essentials 2024 provides a practical set of graphic design tools for Windows. It is an entry-level edition from Corel for occasional graphics users, hobbyists and DIY projects. The package combines vector illustration and page layout with photo editing in two applications. You can create artwork from basic shapes, arrange text and images, and retouch photographs within the same software package.

Two included applications

CorelDRAW Essentials is used for vector illustration and page layout. Draw basic lines and shapes, adjust them with shaping tools and create curves. Page layout functions support invitations, collages and multi-page designs. Rulers, grids and guidelines help position objects and organise a design.

Corel PHOTO-PAINT Essentials provides layer-based photo editing. Its retouching and enhancement tools let you adjust photographs and combine image elements. Text tools and text effects support headings and captions. The Objects docker lets you hide, rename, search and reorder objects, while the Object Properties docker provides access to object settings.

Design and colour controls

Choose colours from swatches or use colour harmonies to build coordinated combinations. Transparency, patterns and gradients provide further options for shaping the appearance of a design. QuickTrace converts a bitmap image into vector artwork with a one-click tracing function. The Hints docker explains tools as you select them, which can help users understand the available controls during a project.

CorelDRAW Essentials 2024 supports popular import and export formats, including PNG, JPG, HEIF and WebP. WebP support is new in the 2024 edition, together with enhanced import and export functions and product quality improvements. These formats help when exchanging images between different applications and preparing graphics for online use.

Edition and licence

CorelDRAW Essentials 2024 is the entry-level edition in the CorelDRAW product family. CorelDRAW Standard and CorelDRAW Graphics Suite contain additional features and are separate products. Essentials does not include features such as PowerTRACE, Font Manager, CAPTURE, a Mac edition, a web application, print production tools or templates. This listing is for the full Essentials edition with a perpetual Lifetime licence for one Windows PC. It is a one-time purchase with no recurring subscription.
