Typical support spans legacy CDR 7 through modern containers including X4/X5/X6+ ZIP-based files and many X8-era documents. Very new or highly complex files may show partial content; see limitations below. BUILT FOR iOS • Native UI with layouts tuned for phone and tablet • Works offline after the file is on your device • No account required IMPORTANT NOTES • Viewer only: this release focuses on opening, inspecting, and exporting—not desktop-class editing inside CorelDRAW. • Rendering fidelity varies by file version and features (advanced text, some pattern fills, or uncommon effects may appear simplified or as placeholders). • Some X6+ and newer files with external data streams may not render every object until support improves in a future update. • For best text display, fonts used in the design should be installed on your device where possible. PRIVACY Files you open are processed on your device. The app does not require you to upload documents to our servers to view them. LEGAL CorelDRAW® is a registered trademark of Corel Corporation.
