Available exclusively to CorelDRAW Graphics Suite and CorelDRAW Technical Suite users, CorelDRAW.app is a web-based application for creating vector graphics. Access it from any device to capture your ideas into designs instantly or share your designs with customers.

A project dashboard helps you store, view, organize, and share files saved to the Cloud. You can share a file by copying and sending a link to its location. Everybody who receives the link will have the access privileges that you choose. You can also share a file with specific people by specifying their email addresses and access privileges.

CorelDRAW. app is integrated with CorelDRAW and Corel DESIGNER. You can save files created in CorelDRAW.app, Corel DESIGNER, or CorelDRAW to Cloud, an online storage for files, and then open these files in any of the applications. For example, you can create an illustration in CorelDRAW.app, save it Cloud, and later edit the illustration in Corel DESIGNER, taking advantage of its wide array of editing tools. After you finish editing, you can save and upload the file to Cloud directly from Corel DESIGNER. The edited file can be opened in CorelDRAW.app for annotation, but not for editing, and then saved to Cloud. If you need to edit the file, you can open it in Corel DESIGNER.

CorelDRAW.app, Corel DESIGNER, and CorelDRAW share some features, but they also differ. For information about saving, editing, and opening files with CorelDRAW.app, view a tutorial from within the app by clicking Help Learning Tutorial.
