The scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file is a web-friendly vector format developed for designing 2D graphics. It has enhanced support for animation, interactivity, and transparency. Unlike bitmapped raster file formats like JPEGs, SVG files use commands or mathematical formulas to store images in gridlines and points. The benefits of SVG are that its images are scalable without losing image quality, making them ideal for high-resolution displays and responsive web designs. The file format compresses images using XML code and the Gzip algorithm, resulting in smaller files. Besides, metadata stored as literal texts enables its contents to be easily indexed, searched, and retrieved.
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 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.
To convert files from SVG to CDR 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 SVG photos you want to convert. If you want to do a bulk conversion, click Choose File and select all the SVG pics you want to convert.
After uploading the SVG image, click the “Select Format” button at the center. A drop-down menu will pop up; select CDR.
On the bottom right corner of the display, click the “Convert” button. Your converted CDR file will be ready for download.
Click the “Download” button on the right side of the CDR 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 SVG file as a CDR file, you first convert it to CDR and then download it.
Instead of converting a file manually from SVG to CDR, use an online tool like Convertjack to convert the file without losing any details.
After converting the SVG file, Download the CDR file and save it in the default folder for all your downloads on the desktop or mobile.
One of the advantages of CDR is its use in CorelDRAW for complex graphic design projects. CDR supports multiple resolutions and color depths. The main disadvantage of SVG is that it is not well-suited for complex images like photographs. Converting SVG to CDR is necessary when working within the CorelDRAW environment.
