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.
JPEG 2000
JP2 (JPEG 2000) is an advanced image format offering both lossy and lossless compression with better quality than classic JPEG. It is used in archiving, medical imaging and cinema, but has limited everyday support.
Strengths
- Better quality than JPEG at the same size
- Lossless and lossy modes
- Strong for archival and medical imaging
Limitations
- Almost no browser support
- Limited consumer-app support
- Slower to encode/decode
Best for: Archival, medical and cinema imaging — converted to JPG or PNG for everyday sharing.
