The latest version of the award-winning graphic design software integrates AI image generation, remixing, masking and background removal capabilities across desktop and web platforms, alongside performance improvements and subscriber-exclusive content.
“CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 2026 represents an exciting step forward in bringing AI into the hands of designers in a meaningful way,” said Prakash Channagiri, senior director of product management for CorelDRAW. “By combining powerful new generative and image editing tools with the precision CorelDRAW is known for, we’re helping creative professionals move from concept to finished design faster, while remaining fully in control of every creative decision.”
