Convert CDR to CDT

What is CDR file?

The CDR file extension is the native file format of CorelDraw graphic design software. This vector graphic format is used to create and save bitmap and vector images. It is also used by Corel WordPerfect Suite, for vector graphic artwork and template files. It contains vector image data and raster image data combined together in a single layer, which allows users to edit the graphics within the program. [ ⏩ ] CDR file extension

What is CDT file?

The CDT file extension is associated with the graphics suite of CorelDRAW. A CDT file represents an image template for CorelDRAW's vector capabilities and downloadable content (such as clip art images, clip art objects, and special effects). CDT files contain a starting canvas or palette in which CorelDRAW objects, like text, shapes, pictures and logos, can be placed. They can include embedded photographs, logos or other graphics that maintain their Vector format inside CorelDRAW. [ ⏩ ] CDT file extension

How to convert the file from CDR to CDT?

To successfully convert the CDR file to CDT, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.CDR). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case CDT (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than CDT).

What is a file conversion?

A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. CDR to CDT. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.

Program for converting CDR files to CDT files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension CDT, while before this step we had the CDR file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new CDT file, or not.
