Convert All to Curves

With the Convert All to Curves extension for CorelDRAW, you can quickly convert text and shapes to curves throughout your design.

You can convert only text, only shapes (such as rectangles and ellipses), or both object types. Plus, you can convert objects in groups, leaving PowerClip objects untouched, or convert all objects in groups and PowerClips. You can apply the conversion to selected objects or to all objects on selected pages.

Converting text to curves helps you preserve the look of your documents when sharing it with others while converting graphic objects helps you simplify your design.

You can convert to curves all text in your project, including text in PowerClip objects with a single click.
