Xara Xtreme拥有大量的图象编辑工具，包括实时的防混淆抗假信号、透明度、现实的影子实现、所有一类刷子、使效果成斜面等，且Xara Xtreme的绘图工具简单易用。同Photoshop一样，每个绘图工具都有相应的属性栏，结合工具栏中的颜色、图层、框架等功能调整，就能制作出专业水准的设计作品。
所有的矢量绘图软件都有笔刷工具，但是Xara Xtreme的笔刷工具（Freehand and Brush Tool）更加好用，它所绘出的线条可以进行编辑。不仅可以拉伸、改变方向，还可以选择不同的线条样式。
Xara Xtreme带有一些特殊效果工具如阴影工具（Shadow Tool）、斜角工具（Bevel Tool）、周线工具（Contour Tool）、重叠工具（Blend Tool），使用这些工具，只要一步就能作出相应的效果。
“Live Effects Tool”内嵌17种效果插件，不仅可应用于绘图，也可应用于图像的效果处理。此外，Live Effects Tool还支持插件扩展。
Xara Xtreme for Windows的内嵌的免费插件来自于Xenofex 2、Av Bros等专业插件开发团队，这些插件具有创意独特、效果精致。如MEHDI的毛糙插件（Fur）、Xenofex 2的电视画面插件（television）。

- Many other improvements and fixes requested by existing owners of Xtreme:
• Name gallery improvements - Improved so that it shows more detail on the fonts used in a document, using the full font name as shown in the font gallery. It also shows variations of a font as a separate selectable font name, as well as the font family (e.g. "Arial Bold", "Arial Italic", "Arial Regular"). It shows at a glance which fonts have had to be synthesized and which are not installed.
• Improved clipboard compatibility with MS Office and other applications - e.g. You can just copy and paste direct into Outlook and it embeds a JPEG
• Print dialog completely re-designed
• Document Info dialog improved
• Error handling improved so that in the event of a program crash you’ll normally get the chance to continue and save your work
• Automatic zoom out when importing photos, so the whole image is instantly visible
• New '100% zoom' operation added to zoom toolbar and key short-cut of Ctrl+Shift+1
• Improved support for using Xtreme with multiple monitors
• Improved support for accented characters, Unicode and non US keyboards
• Frame (animation) gallery order reversed, so it now shows first frame at the top
• Line width now shown in pix if the page unit is Pix
• The main toolbar should automatically show small icons on small screens
• Dragging a file onto the title bar no longer opens MDI windows
• Copy / Paste attributes on text now works more reliably. You can more easily create 'text styles' using small snippets of text.
• New option in Grid & Ruler to allow the ruler origin to be top left and coordinate values to increase downwards
• Improved compatibility withMicrosoft Windows Vista
• And the most significant feature improvements of the lot - the caret in the text tool now blinks!
