About the formats
CorelDRAW drawing
CDR is CorelDRAW's proprietary vector format for logos, layouts and illustrations. It is rarely readable outside Corel's own software, so it is almost always converted to an image or SVG before sharing or publishing on the web.
Strengths
- Rich vector editing in CorelDRAW
- Popular in print and signage workshops
- Compact for complex layouts
Limitations
- Proprietary — poor support elsewhere
- Not viewable in browsers
- Newer versions can convert imperfectly
Best for: Sharing CorelDRAW work — converted to PNG, SVG or PDF so anyone can open it.
Bitmap image
BMP is an uncompressed raster format from the Windows world. It stores raw pixels with no quality loss, producing large but perfectly exact files.
Strengths
- Completely lossless, raw pixels
- Simple, widely readable on Windows
- No compression artefacts
Limitations
- Very large file sizes
- No transparency or animation
- Rarely used on the modern web
Best for: Legacy Windows workflows and cases where an uncompressed, exact bitmap is required.
