SVG – Scalable Vector Graphics. SVG is the web's vector picture format: shapes, paths and text described in XML, so the drawing stays sharp at any size. Every browser draws it, and design programs open it.

Frequently asked questions

Is converting CDR to SVG free?

Yes. Everyone gets 25 free credits a day, with no account needed. Conversions on our server use one credit per started minute of work, so most cost a single credit. Credits reset at midnight UTC.

Are my CDR files uploaded anywhere?

This conversion runs on our server, because drawing a CDR file needs Inkscape, which does not run in a browser. Your file is sent over an encrypted connection, and both it and the result are deleted 72 hours after the conversion. The server has no internet access while it works on your file.

How large can the CDR file be?

Up to 1 GB per file. This conversion runs on our server, which accepts files up to that size.

Will the SVG look the same as the CDR?

The shapes stay shapes, so the SVG looks like the CDR at any size. Fonts the converter does not have are replaced, and effects the SVG cannot hold are simplified.

Can I convert several CDR files at once?

Yes. Add as many files as you like; they are converted one after another, and each one gets its own Download button.
