AI to CDR Converter

Prepare supported PDF-compatible or PostScript AI artwork for CorelDRAW without claiming native CDR output.

Uploads are used only for conversion in an isolated temporary directory and are deleted automatically when the request finishes.

Native CDR vs CorelDRAW-ready output

CDR is CorelDRAW's proprietary native format. Navorika does not have a verified CDR writer, so it produces a genuine PDF, SVG, EPS, PNG, or JPG that CorelDRAW can import. Open the result in CorelDRAW, check fonts and pages, then choose Save As → CDR.

About AI to CDR Converter – Illustrator to CorelDRAW

The server accepts AI files whose signatures identify PDF-compatible or PostScript content.

Server conversions use an isolated temporary directory. Input and output files are deleted automatically when each request finishes.

How to use this tool

1Upload a supported .ai file up to 15 MB.
2Choose PDF, first-page SVG, or first-page EPS.
3Run the capability-gated conversion.
4Import in CorelDRAW and check layers, fonts, gradients, and clipping.

Understanding the result

PDF-compatible AI may be passed through as real PDF before optional export.

Older PostScript AI uses Ghostscript’s safe PDF conversion.

Important limitations

No verified native CDR writer is configured. The download is a genuine CorelDRAW-ready interchange file, not a renamed or simulated .cdr file.
Illustrator-only layers, effects, brushes, linked assets, and color settings may not survive open interchange.
