How to Install Macros

Installing CorelDRAW Macros (Windows Only)

CorelDRAW macros are .GMS files designed for the Windows version only.

CorelDRAW for Mac does not support VBA and cannot run these tools.

1. Download Your Macro

After checkout, you'll receive a .zip or .gms file.

2. Extract the File

Right-click the .zip and select “Extract All…”

3. Locate Your GMS Folder

Typical path:

C:\Users\YourName\Documents\Corel\CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 2024\Draw\GMS

(If you’re using a different Corel version, just swap the “2024” with your version.)

4. Drop the Macro In

Move the .GMS file into that folder.

5. Restart CorelDRAW

Your macro will appear under Tools → Macros → Run Macro.

You can also assign it to a button or shortcut in your toolbar settings.
