The CDR file is a ZIP-compressed directory of several files, among them XML-files and the RIFF-structured riffdata.cdr with the familiar version signature in versions X4 (CDREvrsn) and X5 (CDRFvrsn), and a root.dat with Corel Draw X6, where the bytes 9 to 15 look slightly different. Our JPG converter is free and works on any web browser. We guarantee file security and privacy. Files are protected with 256-bit SSL encryption and automatically deleted after 2 hours.

Conversion of jpg files to cdr file format

If you are looking for a way to export or convert raster graphic to CorelDraw vector graphics (.cdr files) you can find a special function in Corel Draw called Corel Power Trace in older versions and as integrated base function in latest version of CorelDraw. This specialized tool can be used to convert any common raster graphics (including .jpg files) and save them in CDR format. It is accessible through the Raster ► Convert to Raster menu option after you have selected the object (in this case imported .jpg image). In previous versions of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite it was a standalone application called Corel Power Trace, but in newer versions it was integrated into CorelDRAW program as a function.
Unfortunately CorelDRAW is available only for Windows, so bad luck for Mac users. The only workaround would be to install some virtualization software on your Mac (Parallels Desktop comes to mind) and run CorelDraw within a Windows virtual machine, which might not be the cheapest solution.
Some websites might advertise option to convert jpg to cdr online, but considering CDR is a proprietary format, it isn't likely that some flawless jpg to cdr converter exits and if it works, it might very well be only for some older versions of CDR format. It is more likely it's some automated way to use CorelDraw functions, so always be mindful about what pictures or documents you are uploading to such sites.

What is the definition of a raster or bitmap image?
It is layers composed of individual pixels which can be seen as squares of color when magnified, plus raster layers let you display subtle changes in tones and colors.
What is the definition of a vector image?

Vector objects, such as lines and shapes, vector text or vector groups, are composed of geometric characteristic and can easily be edited.
Here’s an example of the visual differences between vector and raster (bitmap) art:

In the busy world of graphic design, images and files are edited, shared and outsourced to vendors on a daily basis. It would be ideal if everyone spoke the same design language, but that is not always the case. Not all files are created equal. Vector files can be created using a graphic design software, such as CorelDRAW, and raster files are created and manipulated in other types of software programs. So how do you get the files to work together?
Converting various file types to vector
Thankfully, the vectorization process is quick and easy with the built-in technology of the PowerTRACE™ engine. It provides the best tracing results and turns the most demanding bitmap images into high-quality vector objects.
With a few simple steps, you will be able to convert an existing raster or bitmap file, such as a .JPG, .BMP or .PNG file, into a vector file.
Here’s a comparison of raster or bitmap file on the left, and a vector image on the right.
In this step-by-step tutorial, you will learn to vectorize an image using CorelDRAW's graphics software.

In addition to the conversion process, you can also trace a vector image. Tracing is essentially another way to take a raster or bitmap image and converting it into a vector graphic. This helpful webinar will cover these important tracing topics:
- PowerTRACE settings
- How to avoid tracing pitfalls
- Image readiness and quality
- Preparing images for tracing
- Reducing nodes in the final trace
- Font recognition
- Simplifying images prior to tracing
- Color conversion
