The centerpiece of the update is the new Text-to-vector tool, accessible through the AI Generate docker. Unlike standard image generators that produce flattened rasters, this feature creates scalable, editable vector graphics from text prompts or existing artwork. By maintaining document color modes and node-based structures, the software allows designers to refine generated concepts for branding, apparel, and signage without losing production quality. Corel describes this as its Artist Intelligence philosophy, framing AI as a tool to accelerate ideation rather than replace technical oversight.

Beyond generative capabilities, Corel has overhauled its PowerTRACE feature to handle low-resolution client files more efficiently. The update promises up to four times faster tracing speeds, improved color handling, and AI-assisted background removal, transforming bitmap inputs into clean, workable vector shapes. Subscribers also gain new functionality in CorelDRAW Web, including custom font support and DWG/DXF export options to facilitate fabrication and technical design workflows. To mark the launch, the company is hosting AI Unlock Week through September 22, offering unlimited generative credits for all trial and existing users.
