CorelDRAW is a family of software programs used for editing vector graphics, illustration, and design. Vector graphics are created in graphics packages and consist of objects. Each object can be edited separately, meaning that the shape, color, size, and position can be changed without losing quality. CorelDRAW allows users to add effects such as borders to images, in addition to allowing for contrast adjustment, color balancing, and more. The software is also capable of working over multiple layers and multiple pages for maximum flexibility.

The primary use of CorelDRAW is graphics, which can cover freehand vector drawing and graphic design, or as CorelDRAW is more commonly used, packaging and industrial design. The software is also more popular among less experienced graphic designers due to its relatively simple learning curve and less complicated user interface. However, that comes with the drawback of having fewer features for professional illustrators or designers.

CorelDRAW can serve as a digital painting platform, desktop publishing suite, and is commonly used for production art in signmaking, vinyl and laser cutting and engraving, print-on-demand, and other industry processes. It is a tool that individuals can use to create different layouts for various documents like brochures, magazines, and other multi-page documents for marketing, advertising, and more.

In summary, CorelDRAW is a software program used for editing vector graphics, illustration, and design, with a primary use in graphics, packaging, and industrial design. It is also used for production art in various industries and for creating different layouts for documents like brochures and magazines.
