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.
PNG image
PNG is a lossless image format with full alpha transparency. It keeps every pixel exact, which makes it the go-to choice for logos, icons, screenshots and graphics with sharp edges.
Strengths
- Lossless — perfect, repeatable quality
- Full transparency (alpha channel)
- Crisp text, lines and flat colour
Limitations
- Larger files than JPG for photos
- No native animation
- Not ideal for large photographic images
Best for: Logos, icons, screenshots and any graphic that needs transparency or pixel-perfect edges.
