CDR files are used to store raster or vector images. It is worth noting that they are not supported by many photo editing programs. How to open a cdr file, except for the Corel program?
The CDR format stands for “CorelDRAW Vector Image” and is created by the program of the same name. Despite the many programs designed for editing photos, not all of them can work with cdr. In addition to CorelDRAW, these files can be opened using Corel Paint Shop Pro.
The file with the cdr extension can be opened with:
-CDR Viewer;
-ACD Systems Canvas 16;
-Adobe Illustrator CC;
-Inkscape.
Please note: it is impossible to directly open the file with the cdr extension in Photoshop. However, you can go to the trick and convert CDR to another format, such as PNG. It is best to convert directly to CorelDRAW. If this is not possible, use the AnyConv website – it allows you to convert CDR online for free.
