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.
Targa (TGA)
TGA (Targa) is a simple raster format with an alpha channel, long used in gaming, 3D and video production for textures and intermediate frames.
Strengths
- Supports an alpha channel
- Simple, lossless storage
- Common in games and 3D
Limitations
- Large file sizes
- Rare on the web
- Limited everyday support
Best for: Game textures and 3D/video pipelines — converted to PNG or JPG for sharing.
