Steps to Convert PNG into CDR
PNG images are raster-based, while CorelDRAW’s CDR format is vector-based. That means there is no one-click direct conversion. However, you can import a PNG into CorelDRAW and either keep it as an image inside your project or use tracing tools to turn it into vectors.
1. Bring PNG into CorelDRAW
- Launch CorelDRAW on your computer.
- Use File → Import and select your PNG file.
- Click on the canvas to place the image.
- To simply include the picture in a CDR file, just choose Save As → CDR.
2. Vectorize PNG for Editing
To make the image scalable and editable as a vector drawing:
- Import the PNG into CorelDRAW.
- Highlight the bitmap and go to Bitmap → Outline Trace.
- Pick the most suitable tracing option (e.g., Logo, Detailed Image).
- Fine-tune the traced shapes and then save your work as CDR.
3. Convert Online Before Import
You can also prepare the PNG outside of CorelDRAW using products.conholdate.app:
- Transform PNG → SVG via the PNG to SVG online converter.
- Open the resulting SVG file inside CorelDRAW.
- Save it in native .cdr format.
4. Free Open-Source Method
If CorelDRAW isn’t available:
- Use Inkscape to open the PNG file.
- Go to Path → Trace Bitmap to generate vector paths.
- Save the drawing as SVG.
- Later, import that SVG into CorelDRAW and export to CDR.
ℹ️ Tip:
Keep in mind that embedding PNG inside CDR does not make it a vector. If you want true vector graphics, always use Outline Trace in CorelDRAW or convert PNG to SVG first.
