Use our free and fast online tool to convert your CDT (Corel Draw) image or logo into 3D OBJ (Wavefront) mesh/model files suitable for printing with a 3D printer or for loading into your favorite 3D editing package.
Here are three simple steps to create an OBJ file from a CDT file.
This setting allows you to specify how your CDT vector file is converted to an OBJ model. The Extrude options will extrude your vector file into 3D space, while the Standard options will apply a heightmap process to your CDT file.
The setting can be used to alter the detail of the final OBJ model that is created. The default setting of Medium works well for most Extrude and Heightmap conversions, with the High setting recommended for highly detailed CDT vector files.
This setting, when given a height of more than zero, will instruct the tool to add a solid 3D base to the final OBJ model. The selected unit of measurement specifies the height of the base.
When this option is enabled, the tool will automatically attempt to make the background of your image transparent.
Manually specify your image background color rather than our tool trying to automatically work it out.
If the tool is unable to identify the background and you know the background color, you can specify it here.
This value can be adjusted to control the background removal tolerance. The higher the value, the more background is removed.
A higher value is useful for creating smoother results if your image is anti-aliased.
When the Invert Output option is checked, the pixel brightness is reversed, i.e., black becomes white and white becomes black, resulting in a 3D model that is reversed.
This setting tells the tool how to size the final 3D model when using the settings below for Width, Height, and Depth settings.
When using either the Color Extrude or Heightmap options within the Tool menu, you can optionally upload a separate image that can be used to colorize your 3D model.
This setting instructs the tool on how to interpret the color information of the elements in your CDT vector file, thereby influencing the creation of the 3D OBJ model. The grayscale option is most commonly used when working with heightmaps, unless you are dealing with specific requirements that necessitate the use of color.
Use this value to merge similar colors; this is useful if your vector file is of low quality. A higher number can help reduce the effects of anti-aliasing in the CDT file.
With this setting, it is possible to reduce the inclusion of small holes within the 3D model caused by small, darker areas of the source CDT file, which can be useful in situations where the source image has not been optimized for use with the tool.
When your CDT file has a transparent background, this option can instruct the tool on how to treat the transparency, with the transparency converted to either black or white.
When this setting is enabled, the conversion tool will attempt to smooth out any "spikes" within the 3D model that are caused by contrasting pixels in the vector file being in close proximity to one another.
With this option enabled, the tool will mirror the 3D geometry of the generated OBJ model along the Z-axis.
If you would like the tool to create a 3D preview of your model, then please select this option. It is on by default.
Use this option to generate Face or Vertex (Smooth) normals in the final 3D model. Vertex normals give the mesh a smooth appearance. You can choose to not create Normals using the None option to reduce the file size.

CDT 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 CDT file extension). CorelDRAW is still being developed today and is the primary program for working with CDT files.

The OBJ file format, originally created by Wavefront Technologies and later adopted by many other 3D software vendors, is a simple text-based file format for describing 3D models/geometry. This data can include vertices, faces, normals, texture coordinates, and references to external texture files.
As the format is text-based, it is relatively straightforward to parse in 3D modeling applications. A downside of the text-based format is that the files can be rather large compared to similar binary formats such as STL and compressed files such as 3MF.
Our tool will save any material and texture files separately; these additional files will be included with your final OBJ file at the time of download.
Yes! If your CDT file contains textured geometry, the texture image files along with the texture coordinates (UV data) will be exported with the final OBJ file.
We aim to process all CDT to OBJ 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 CDT file you submit to us. The resulting OBJ file, once created is deleted 15 minutes after upload and the download link will expire after this time.
No. All our conversion tools process your CDT 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 OBJ file quickly.
Yes! Our CDT to OBJ 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 CDT conversion tool please consider white-listing our site. When an Ad Blocker is enabled there are some conversion limits on some of our tools and processing/conversion times will be longer.
Yes. When you have converted your CDT to OBJ, there is a "Feedback" option that you can use to let us know of any issues you encountered when converting your file.
