Free online CDR to SVG converter

Source format: CDR

CDR is the native file format used by CorelDRAW, a vector graphics editor commonly used for logos, illustrations, signage, print design, and page layout. A CDR file can store vector paths, text, fills, effects, and sometimes embedded raster images.

Target format: SVG

SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphics. It is an open, XML-based vector format supported by web browsers, design tools, and many other applications. SVG is well suited for logos, icons, illustrations, and other graphics that need to scale cleanly at any size.

How to convert CDR to SVG

The most reliable method is to open the CDR file in CorelDRAW and export it as SVG.

1. Open the .cdr file in CorelDRAW.
2. Review the artwork for unsupported effects, missing fonts, or linked images.
3. Choose File → Export.
4. Select SVG as the output format.
5. Adjust export settings if needed, such as text handling, image embedding, and SVG version.
6. Save the file with a .svg extension.

If you do not have CorelDRAW, use another desktop vector editor that can open CDR files and export SVG. Support varies by version and by file complexity, so older CDR files are usually easier to convert than newer ones. For a quick conversion, you can also convert the file on 101convert.com for free, without installing any software.

Quality and compatibility notes

CDR to SVG conversion works best for simple vector artwork. Results can vary when the original file uses complex transparency, blends, gradients, special fills, or other CorelDRAW-specific features that do not map perfectly to SVG. Fonts may also be substituted if they are not available on the target system, which can change the appearance of the design.

For best visual fidelity, convert text to curves before exporting if you do not need editable text in the SVG. If the CDR file contains embedded raster images, those images will remain raster data inside the SVG and will not become vector graphics. After conversion, open the SVG in a browser or vector editor to confirm that shapes, colors, and spacing look correct.
