CorelDraw Graphics Suite

Adobe is usually the name to beat when it comes to graphics software. That's why they were taken aback by how easily CorelDraw managed to turn the Illustrator-biased heads. In fact, the software has some features that Illustrator cannot match—at least not without the use of purchased plug-ins or additional steps. It packs some pro-level features alongside its lauded accessibility and ease of use for a graphics program primarily geared toward the non-designer production industry and Windows-based graphic artists. Nonetheless, Adobe Illustrator is Editors' Choice winner in the category, thanks in part to its powerful integration with other Creative Cloud apps.

CorelDraw is a vector drawing and editing program, as well as a layout program. It is a global favorite, with a focus on the apparel, garment, and textile industries. The app was previously only available for Windows, but now that it is also available for macOS, its user base is growing. With its main competitor, Adobe Illustrator, having a stronghold in the professional graphic design market, Corel is working to share the market space more evenly by ensuring it meets modern requirements such as facilitated centralized collaboration, expanded compatibility, and subscription-based extras.
