Free online CDT to WEBP converter

Websites and apps often accept WEBP images but not editable CorelDRAW templates. Converting a CDT design produces a raster image that is easier to publish or share, but no longer retains the source document’s editable vector objects.

What the CDT format is

CDT is a CorelDRAW template format used to save reusable layouts and design elements for new CorelDRAW documents. You may encounter CDT files when receiving a design template or reusing a branded layout. CorelDRAW is the program commonly used to create and edit them.

What the WEBP format is

WEBP is a raster image format used widely for web graphics. It supports lossy and lossless compression and transparency; it can reduce image size compared with some other web image formats, though the result depends on the artwork and export settings. A WEBP export is a flattened image, not an editable copy of the CDT design.

How to convert CDT to WEBP

Online on 101convert.com

1. Upload the CDT file on the converter page. You can add several files for batch conversion; the per-file size limit is shown on the page.
2. Before converting, set any needed options: pages, resolution, quality, image size, max width, max height, auto orient, or strip metadata.
3. Start the conversion, then download the WEBP file or files.

The page’s conversion uses LibreOffice followed by ImageMagick.

Offline with desktop software

CorelDRAW (Windows and macOS) can open its CDT templates and export a raster image. Open the file, choose File → Export, select WEBP as the format, set the output dimensions or resolution and quality in the export options, then save.

Quality and limitations

Because CDT artwork is rendered as pixels, select a resolution and image size suited to the final display or print dimensions; enlarging the exported WEBP can make edges look soft. WEBP preserves transparency when the export settings retain it. Multi-page documents require choosing the pages to export, if the application or converter exposes that option.
