To get started, click the Upload button above and select the CDR file you wish to convert. You may select up to 200 files at a time, and our CDR to AI tool will batch convert them in a single operation.

CDR is a native file format used by CorelDRAW, created in 1989. It is a vector graphics format that started life on Windows 2 and has evolved over the years to support newer features. It is still as popular as ever.
These files are binary in format and usually represent a group of assets in a zip format (while retaining the CDR file extension). CorelDRAW is still being developed today and is the primary program for working with CDR files.

The AI file format, or Adobe Illustrator Artwork, to give it its full name, has been around since 1987. Developed by Adobe, the AI file is a vector-based image format initially created to encompass the EPS and PDF formats.
The format has continued to be improved since its initial release and is widely supported today by many well-known vector-based graphics programs, such as CorelDRAW and Paint Shop Pro.
Yes! Our CDR tool supports full batch conversions. You can upload up to 200 CDR files at a time. Our tool will convert them all as quickly as possible. Once completed, you can either download the AI files individually or download them all in a single ZIP file.
First click the "Upload..." button, and select your CDR file to upload. You can also drag and drop your file onto the tool. Once your file is selected, you can set any configuration options. When the CDR to AI conversion has completed, you can download your AI file straight away.
We aim to process all CDR to AI conversions as quickly as possible, this usually takes around 5 seconds but can be more for larger more complex files so please be patient.
We aim to create the most accurate conversions with our tools. Our tools are under constant development with new features and improvements being added every week.
Yes, of course! We do not store the CDR file you submit to us. The resulting AI file, once created, is stored for 4 hours after upload; after this time it is deleted, and the short-term download link will stop working. You can create a long-term download Url with most tools that will ensure the file is retained for 24 hours, allowing you to download the file when convenient. Our tools also come with a Delete button, allowing you to delete the file immediately.
No. All our conversion tools process your CDR file on our dedicated conversion servers, meaning you can use our tools on low-spec computers, laptops, tablets, and mobile devices and receive your converted AI file quickly.
Yes! Our CDR to AI tool will run on any system with a modern web browser. No specialist software is needed to run any of our conversion tools.
Yes. Although you can use an Ad Blocker, if you like our CDR conversion tool please consider white-listing our website. When an Ad Blocker is enabled there are some conversion limits and some settings may not be available when using our tools. Processing/conversion and download times will also be longer.
Yes. When you have converted your CDR to AI, there is a "Feedback" option that you can use to let us know of any issues you encountered when converting your file.
