Do you have a CDR vector graphics file that will not open correctly? If so, our free-to-use CDR vector repair tool may be able to help. Our tool analyses the content of your vector file and is able to determine if the file content, such as lines, curves, paths, and other vectorized data, is valid. Our tool will let you know if there are any issues with your CDR vector file and attempt to repair it.
Or drag and drop your files here to upload.
A maximum of 20 files can be uploaded at once.
Here are 3 simple steps to repair your CDR using our fast and free repair tool.
No. Our CDR repair tool will not adjust the quality of the repaired file.
Yes! Our CDR repair tool is 100% free to use.
No, you can repair as many files as you wish. We do not have any limits when using our CDR repair tool.
We aim to process CDR repairs as quickly as possible; this usually takes around 5 seconds; however, this may be longer depending on the file size and data needed to be repaired.
Once your CDR has been selected, it will undergo some initial checks to verify that the file has some basic information. If the initial checks pass, we then upload the file to our servers for more detailed analysis.
Yes, of course it is! Your CDR, once repaired, is deleted 15 minutes after upload, and any download link will expire after this time.
Yes! Our CDR repair tool will run on any system with a modern web browser.

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.
Vector files such as CDR store their data in binary format, with a part of this allocated to describe the file content, which we refer to as the header, as this file description is usually found at the beginning of the file content.
The bread and butter of any 2D vector graphics file are the basic element types such as lines, curves, paths, fills, and more. During the file repair process, these elements are not converted and will remain as they are, with any data that cannot be repaired truncated from the source element. If the vector file, such as CDR, contains any bitmap image elements, these will be processed in the same manner as our image repair tool.
If the vector file format supports layers, these will be respected when processing the repair. Where layer information cannot be determined, elements will be merged into a single layer for later manual re-assignment. Likewise for transforms, these will be left as-is where possible.
