The CPT file extension is used for Corel Photo-Paint documents created and managed by Corel Corporation. The program was introduced in 1991 as part of the CorelDRAW Graphics Suite, which was created to provide graphic editing programs to replace the Mac-based Photoshop. Corel Photo-Paint documents are based on a raster layer structure with layers that can be edited individually, independent of other layers. It allows users access to a variety of manipulation tools to create vector images, bitmaps, and other graphic files.
Structure of CPT Files
CPT documents are created from a selection of raster layers, arranged into a layer stack. This allows for a user to edit specific layers individually and save them without affecting the rest of the document or image. By default, Corel Photo-Paint saves CPT files with their associated bitmaps. For advanced users, the images can also be compressed using various algorithms, such as JPEG or GIF89a formats.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .CPT) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .CPT extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .CPT file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .CPT extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .CPT extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .CPT file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .CPT file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .CPT file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .CPT file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .CPT file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
