Sample conversions

Flag artwork

Input: 201,580-byte CorelDRAW X3 file, one page.
Output: One 2552 × 1701 PNG of 347,374 bytes; 2.1 s to lay out plus 1.1 s to render.

Two-page song sheet

Input: 170,156-byte CorelDRAW 12 file, two A4 pages.
Output: 254,437-byte ZIP with two 1191 × 1684 PNGs; the staves show boxes in place of notes.

A real CorelDRAW → PNG run

We converted our CorelDRAW sample (11 KB) with Office engine → Image engine on 2026-10-20. It took 1.7 s and produced a 9 KB PNG file, 15% smaller than the input. The engine raised 2 warnings, listed below.

Input · sample.cdr · 11 KB

ZIP with 8 parts

Archive parts: 8
first: content/riffData.cdr

Output · sample.png · 9 KB

1191 × 1684 px, 8-bit, colour type 2

Width: 1,191
Height: 1,684
Encoding: 8-bit, colour type 2

Fonts that are not installed on our servers are replaced, and some CorelDRAW effects (lenses, contours, transparency) are simplified; check the result against the original.
PDF pages rendered as images; selectable text is not preserved.

Options and when to change them

dpi: Use 300 for print-ready images of labels or packaging; 144 for the web.
width: Set the exact width a product listing or website asks for.
max_pages: Use 1 when only the front page of a multi-page design is needed.

Do it yourself

Inkscape

bash

inkscape logo.cdr --export-type=png --export-dpi=144

Inkscape reads .cdr through the same open-source library, so newer files and symbol fonts fail the same way; it exports one page unless told otherwise.

CorelDRAW to PNG by API or MCP

The HTTP API and the MCP server run the exact engine this page uses (Office engine → Image engine); the response carries the same warnings the web converter shows. Check support first with GET /api/v1/pairs?from=cdr&to=png.

curl

curl -X POST https://filetypeconverters.com/api/v1/convert \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FTC_API_KEY" \
  -F "file=@input.cdr" -F "from=cdr" -F "to=png" \
  -F 'options={"width":0}' \
  --output output.png

API reference

When this is the wrong conversion

If the PNG is for a printed job, ask for a PDF from CorelDRAW; a raster image cannot be scaled up cleanly.
If you need to edit the shapes, CDR → SVG keeps them as vectors.

CorelDRAW to PNG questions

Can I get a transparent PNG of my CorelDRAW logo?

Not from this route; the page is rendered onto white. Export a PNG with transparency from CorelDRAW, or convert to SVG and remove the white page rectangle in an editor.

Why is my logo so small in the image?

The whole CorelDRAW page is rendered. A logo placed on an A4 page leaves wide margins; crop the image or ask the designer to fit the page to the artwork.

Does this work for CorelDRAW 2024 files?

No. Files from the newest releases are refused because only their bitmaps can be read. Save a copy as version X7 or older in CorelDRAW and convert that.
