Performance and stability
The September 2025 Update for CorelDRAW® Graphics Suite 2025 (v26.2) delivers enhancements, and performance and stability improvements.
Files – clearer previews, smoother downloads, and reliable performance
- Preview a file anywhere on the Cloud Dashboard in CorelDRAW and open it instantly – The preview pane no longer covers file thumbnails, so the Open button remains visible and ready to use.
- In CorelDRAW on Windows, internal errors no longer occur after using flyout menus or buttons and closing the application.
- In CorelDRAW on Windows, memory leaks that caused high RAM usage and instability during batch SVG conversions have been addressed. Memory is properly released after each file, so converting many SVGs is now faster, more stable, and uses far less memory.
- You can now save .CDR files to external storage in CorelDRAW on macOS without issues.
- In CorelDRAW Web, the issue with downloading files after using the Save As and Save As template commands has been addressed. The download will now start immediately after you click OK, just as expected.
Text – smoother editing, accurate fonts, and reliable display
- In CorelDRAW on Windows, copying paragraph frames outside the page now works smoothly, even for frames that span multiple pages or contain bullets.
- Issues with certain Google fonts, such as Corinthia, Great Vibes, Markazi Text, and Philosopher, that appeared correctly in the Font Preview list but were not applied to text have been resolved in CorelDRAW on Windows.
- In CorelDRAW on Windows, artistic text now displays correctly in the Edit Text dialog box when the Show Font option is enabled (Click Text > Edit Text. Click Options, and then click Show Font).
Templates – faster search, consistent sizing, and improved stability
- Searching for content is now faster in CorelDRAW, letting you find what you're looking for without delay.
- In CorelDRAW, templates that use pixels as the unit of measurement now display page dimensions in pixels for better representation of their size.
- Optimized template previews in CorelDRAW enable lower memory usage and faster loading of templates.
- Opening a new document from the Black Tri Fold template in CorelDRAW Web, quickly entering focus mode, and immediately selecting the Objects docker no longer results in instability.
Exporting to PDF
- CorelDRAW Web no longer freezes when exporting to PDF, thanks to improved handling of settings during export.
Memory alerts – timely and guiding
- To help you keep your work safe and maintain optimal performance, CorelDRAW Web monitors resource usage, and notifies you when available memory falls under 1500MB. The alert recommends saving your work and reducing memory load by closing unused documents or clearing undo history directly.
UI – accurate taskbar previews with correct colors
- Hovering over the CorelDRAW taskbar icon on Windows now shows proper per-document previews, with correct background colors instead of white bars on the sides.
Other improvements
- In CorelDRAW, issues causing instability in areas like the PowerTRACE dialog box, object management, data editing, and workspace customization have been resolved.
