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 primarily contain vector image data, such as lines, paths, shapes, and colors, but they can also include text, raster images, effects, and other elements. CDR file type is 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.
PSD stands for Photoshop Document. It is a raster graphics file format created in Adobe Photoshop. The PSD format allows Photoshop users, including professional artists and designers, to save all image information necessary for continued or future file editing. A PSD file comprises different layers arranged to be edited independently, permitting complex editing effects that can be easily modified. They also contain Photoshop-specific elements, keywords, file information, annotations, layer masks, adjustments, and image layers.
To convert files from CDR to PSD 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 PSD.
On the bottom right corner of the display, click the “Convert” button. Your converted PSD file will be ready for download.
Click the “Download” button on the right side of the PSD 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 PSD file, you first convert it to PSD and then download it.
Instead of converting a file manually from CDR to PSD, use an online tool like Convertjack to convert the file without losing any details.
After converting the CDR file, Download the PSD file and save it in the default folder for all your downloads on the desktop or mobile.
One of the advantages of PSD is its ability to store complex layers, adjustments, and editing information, making it a powerful format for professional design and image manipulation in applications like Adobe Photoshop. The main disadvantage of CDR files is that they are also large and designed for professional editing in applications like CorelDRAW, which limits their compatibility for web use. Converting CDR files to PSD may help preserve editing capabilities.
