Convert CPT to IMG

Understanding cpt and img file formats

CPT is the proprietary image file format used by Corel Photo-Paint, a part of the CorelDRAW Graphics Suite. It stores raster graphics, including layers, effects, and other editing information. IMG is a generic term for image files, but it often refers to raster image formats such as IMG (GEM Paint) or raw disk images. In the context of graphics, converting CPT to a standard raster image format (like PNG, JPG, or BMP) is usually the goal.

Why convert cpt to img?

Converting a CPT file to an IMG (or other standard image format) allows for easier sharing, viewing, and editing in software that does not support Corel Photo-Paint's proprietary format.

How to convert cpt to img

The most reliable way to convert CPT files is by using Corel Photo-Paint itself, as it natively supports the format. Here’s how you can do it:

• Open your CPT file in Corel Photo-Paint.
• Go to File → Export.
• Select your desired image format (such as PNG, JPG, BMP, or TIFF) from the list.
• Click Export and choose your save location.

If you do not have access to Corel Photo-Paint, you can try online converters like Zamzar or Convertio, but support for CPT files is limited and may not preserve all image features.

Best software for cpt to img conversion

• Corel Photo-Paint – Best for full compatibility and preserving all image features.
• Zamzar (zamzar.com) – Online converter with limited CPT support.
• Convertio (convertio.co) – Another online option, but may not support all CPT versions.

Tips for successful conversion

• Always keep a backup of your original CPT file.
• Check the output image for quality and completeness, especially if using online tools.
• If possible, use Corel Photo-Paint for best results and format compatibility.
