Corel offers AI-assisted upsampling and artifact removal within its PowerTRACE tool in CorelDRAW, helping users convert low-resolution bitmap images into clean vector graphics more accurately.
PowerTRACE, built into CorelDRAW, includes AI upsample modes — 'Illustration' for logos and drawings, and 'Photorealistic' for photos — that use machine learning to improve the resolution and quality of a bitmap image before it is converted to a vector. Users can also enable AI-based JPEG artifact removal prior to tracing. These AI pre-processing steps were introduced in CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 2020 and are available to all CorelDRAW users.
Corel offers AI style transfer in Corel Painter and Corel Painter Essentials, which automatically transforms a user's photo into a stylized painting that mimics famous artistic styles using neural network technology.
Corel Painter uses convolutional neural network (CNN)-based style transfer to take a source photo, sketch, or existing painting as input and produce a stylized painting output that replicates the texture and appearance of styles such as impressionism, charcoal, or acrylic. The AI Styles feature was introduced in Corel Painter 2021 (released June 2020) with 12 curated styles; it uses Apple's Core ML framework for optimization on Mac hardware. The core style transfer technology was first introduced in Corel Painter Essentials 7 (released October 2019) with 8 AI-based auto-painting presets, each trained to recreate the look of real-world source images such as pencil drawings and oil or watercolor paintings.
Corel offers AI image generation tools in CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 2026 that let designers create original images from text descriptions or remix existing photos, available to all CorelDRAW subscribers and purchasers as of March 2026.
The AI Generate docker/inspector, built into CorelDRAW and Corel PHOTO-PAINT, accepts text prompts and optional reference images as input and produces raster images using third-party generative AI models including Flux Schnell, Stable Diffusion 3.5, and Nano Banana. Users receive 2,000 AI credits per month on subscription, or a one-time allocation of 2,000 credits with a perpetual license. The same tools are accessible via CorelDRAW Web for subscribers.
