A CDR file is a vector image file created with CorelDRAW, a vector illustration and page layout design application included in the CorelDRAW Graphics Suite. CDR files contain vector image data, such as lines, paths, shapes, and colors, but they can also include text, raster images, effects, and other elements. .CDR extension files are often used to create brochures, posters, logos, web banners, and other graphic design projects. While CorelDRAW is the leading software for opening and editing CDR files, other Corel products, like Corel PHOTO-PAINT, can also open CDR files with limited editing capabilities.
Adobe Illustrator Artwork (AI) is a vector file format developed by Adobe Systems to represent single- or multi-page vector graphics. Unlike raster files made from pixels, vector files maintain resolution when scaled because they are based on mathematical paths defined by points, curves, and lines. AI format uses paths instead of bitmap image data, making it ideal for designs that need to be resized without losing quality. Because of their small file size and scalability, AI files are widely used by designers and illustrators.
To convert files from CDR to AI use an online tool that supports mass conversion, like Convertjack. Such a tool transforms single or bulk images at once to save time.
Go to Choose File, and select any CDR photos you want to convert. If you want to do a bulk conversion, click Choose File and select all the CDR pics you want to convert.
After uploading the CDR image, click the “Select Format” button at the center. A drop-down menu will pop up; select AI.
On the bottom right corner of the display, click the “Convert” button. Your converted AI file will be ready for download.
Click the “Download” button on the right side of the AI file, and the converted image will be downloaded. If you convert multiple files, each file will have a “Download all” button in front of it, and you can click each button to download all the converted files.
To save a CDR file as a AI file, you first convert it to AI and then download it.
Instead of converting a file manually from CDR to AI, use an online tool like Convertjack to convert the file without losing any details.
After converting the CDR file, Download the AI file and save it in the default folder for all your downloads on the desktop or mobile.
One of the advantages of AI is its compatibility with Adobe's suite of design tools and its widespread use in professional graphic design and printing workflows. AI supports scalable vector graphics, making it ideal for creating high-quality designs. The main disadvantage of CDR files is that they are not widely compatible with software outside of the Corel environment. Converting CDR files to AI can improve compatibility with Adobe Illustrator and streamline workflows for designers using Adobe tools.
