Artificial intelligence is becoming an important part of every designer’s workflow—the proverbial intern to a creator’s head of design. And CorelDRAW is here to help you make the most of it.
With a mix of built-in AI features and partner-powered tools, you’ve got what you need to work more efficiently, no matter which CorelDRAW product you prefer—all while keeping the creative process entirely in your hands.
In this post, I’ll share some of our AI design tools for creators. You can start using many of them today and stay tuned for more innovation to come!
Why AI is your co-pilot, not the head designer
If you've ever felt the cold fear of AI takeovers gripping your heart, don't worry. We understand how you feel and are committed to keeping you in the driver's seat for your creative work.
We believe that AI is a tool. It's there to support what you're doing and help take the more repetitive (and perhaps less creative!) work off your hands.
After all, you're using CorelDRAW products because you have creative things to do—not because you want the software to do it for you.

How to use generative text-to-image AI with CorelDRAW
As a designer, you’ve probably heard at least one request for a stock photo that doesn’t feature yet another smiling businessperson. But when you find it, it's over an hour later and you're behind on your deadlines.
That’s where Render FX, a partner-powered generative AI image creation tool available for purchase inside CorelDRAW Graphics Suite, comes in.
If you need to find a photo featuring a “cozy mountain cabin at sunset,” just tell Render FX. Then, watch it provide five unique high-resolution image options based on one of four popular AI models of your choice.
Plus, it’s all done locally on your device, so you won’t need any subscriptions or credits.
Pro tip: Render FX allows for 16x upscaling and has built-in pre- and post-processing to remove artifacts, sharpen details, and refine textures. This means you don’t need to edit your renderings before pulling them into your CorelDRAW projects like you might have to with other generative AI tools.
How to fast-track designs with generative text-to-vector AI
Images aren’t the only essential design component that creators don’t always have time for.
When you're under a tight deadline for a project, you can’t stop to draw everything from scratch. And even stock vectors may not have exactly what you need.
To help, CorelDRAW Graphics Suite users can purchase and access Vector FX, a partner-powered AI tool that transforms text prompts into scalable vector graphics .
So if you need to create “elegant line art of a bird in flight,” just tell Vector FX and you’ll get back five editable and commercially licensed options you can open and refine directly in CorelDRAW Graphics Suite or use for inspiration.
Pro tip: Vector FX gives you unlimited local generation, rather than cloud-based generation. This keeps everything on your device and skips the extra subscriptions and credits.
AI in CorelDRAW Graphics Suite: What’s here and what’s to come
AI is part of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite today, helping creators in their day-to-day work. You can already find features like:
- AI upsampling to improve the quality of low-resolution files without losing sharpness
- AI-powered artifact removal to clean up compressed images and restore details
- AI-assisted PowerTRACE to convert bitmaps to editable vector graphics
- AI Art Style Effects to apply editable non-destructive effects to bitmaps or vectors modeled after the aesthetic of an artist or genre
And this is only the beginning. More AI-powered design innovations are on the horizon, waiting for their chance to help you improve your workflows while keeping your creativity front and center.
