File format information for CDR and AI

Extension	CDR
Full Name	Corel Draw
Type	Vector
Mime Type	application/octet-stream
Format	Binary

The CDR file format is the native format used by the popular CorelDRAW graphics editing software. CorelDRAW is used to create complex two-dimensional vector graphics documents that are perfect for presentation slides, logos, and more.

The format can contain many elements, such as formatted text, shapes, layers, and other vector components. As the CDR file format is vector-based, there is no loss in quality when scaling the document up.

As the CDR format is proprietary, CDR files are designed for use with the CorelDRAW application only, though the format can also be opened with certain other vector graphics file editors such as Inkscape, though not all the features may be supported.

Extension	AI
Full Name	Adobe Illustrator
Type	Vector
Mime Type	application/octet-stream
Format	Binary

The AI file format is the native file extension associated with the Adobe Illustrator vector editing software. The format stores graphics in vector form, enabling content to be scaled without any loss of detail or pixelation associated with bitmap formats.

A wide range of image data can be stored within an AI file, including basic drawing elements such as lines, curves, and other shapes and colours, gradient fill, and other effects that control the rendering of elements. All these drawing elements are arranged in an independent manner, allowing easy editing of the individual elements that make up the final image.

AI files can be imported into a wide range of vector editing software with varying degrees of accuracy, meaning that for maximum compatibility, Adobe Illustrator software is best used when editing AI files.
