Convert CDX to CDR

What is CDX file?

The CDX file type is used by the vector graphics program CorelDRAW. CDX files are a compressed version of the standard CorelDRAW drawing format, which is often referred to as a CDR file. These compressed files use a lossless method of compressing the data known as zip compression, in order to reduce the size of the file and enable faster loading. CDX files are also used for convenient storage and telecommunication, since they have a much smaller size than the original CDR file. [ ⏩ ] CDX file extension

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.

How to convert the file from CDX to CDR?

To successfully convert the CDX file to CDR, 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.CDX). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case CDR (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 CDR).

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. CDX to CDR. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.

Program for converting CDX files to CDR 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 CDR, while before this step we had the CDX file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new CDR file, or not.
