Like Canva, CorelDRAW Go is a web-based graphic design tool with intuitive features, templates, and creative assets—but it’s got a few major differences.
It comes with vector drawing and editing capabilities, giving you more flexibility for unique design work.
CorelDRAW Go comes with drawing tools you’d expect to see in more advanced graphic design software, including a pen tool with precise Bézier curve control and a freehand drawing tool.
Canva doesn’t include a pen tool or node editing options—meaning CorelDRAW Go users have a unique ability to manipulate anchor points, giving you more control over your designs.
CorelDRAW Go includes an entirely unique set of pixel-based brushes controlled by vector curves, so you can create realistic-looking textures, embellishments, and backgrounds.
With CorelDRAW Go, you can type text along any line, curve, or shape—something you can’t do with Canva’s basic text path presets.
CorelDRAW Go also allows single-letter editing within a text box, giving you greater creative control over words, sentences, and paragraphs.
CorelDRAW Go lets you turn any shape into a photo frame, so you aren’t limited to preset frame objects.
CorelDRAW Go provides off-canvas space for ideation. This lets you keep track of all your design elements and avoid the canvas clutter you can experience with Canva.
CorelDRAW Go lets you start a project in CMYK, offering full control over print-ready color from the beginning. In contrast, Canva Free only supports RGB. Canva’s paid plans allow CMYK export, but only when downloading as a PDF for print.
CorelDRAW Go gives you tools to customize both inner and outer shadows. Canva offers only basic outer shadow presets.
Expand on your Canva designs with CorelDRAW Go’s vector drawing and editing tools, giving you more creative freedom and customization.
Pair it with Canva to expand your creative toolbox and take your skills to the next level.
