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.
HEIC image
HEIC is the high-efficiency format Apple devices use by default. It stores photos at roughly half the size of JPG with comparable quality, but is awkward to share outside the Apple ecosystem.
Strengths
- Half the size of JPG at similar quality
- Stores rich photo metadata
- Default on modern iPhones and iPads
Limitations
- Poor support on Windows, Android and the web
- Often needs converting before sharing
- Limited editor compatibility
Best for: Storing iPhone photos efficiently — usually converted to JPG or PNG before sharing.
