How it works

From locked file to open file in 3 steps

No software to install. Runs in the browser, on your phone or computer.

01

Upload the .cdr

Drop the file your designer’s Corel refuses to open. Several at once is fine.

02

Choose the version

Pick the CorelDRAW version their machine runs. ConvertCDR downgrades the file to that version.

03

Download and open

Done. The file opens normally in the older Corel, with every curve, color and layer in place.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does this change my drawing?

No. ConvertCDR only swaps the file version stamp — 11 bytes. Curves, colors, text, images and layers stay exactly the same. All that changes is the "version" label that CorelDRAW reads.

Do I need CorelDRAW installed?

No. Everything runs in the browser, on your phone or computer. You install nothing and don’t need Corel open to convert.

How far back can it downgrade?

From CorelDRAW 2026 down to 2020. Just pick the version your designer’s machine uses and the file comes out ready to open in it.

Does it work with large files and in batch?

Yes. You can upload several files at once, including heavy artwork with images and effects, and download them all converted.

Can I try before paying?

Sure. Your first conversion is free, no credit card. If it solves your problem, you can then pay per conversion or subscribe.
