Why Corel?

Corel has been developing software for graphics, photos and video since 1985. CorelDRAW is one of the best-known graphics programs in the world and is firmly established in sign making, print shops and agencies. Today the product family also includes well-known brands such as WinZip, Pinnacle Studio and MindManager. Many of the programs are available from us as a perpetual licence – with no monthly costs.

An example from practice

A metalworker opens an architect’s DWG drawing, adds a detailed railing and outputs the dimensions for the workshop.
