About the CDR format

CorelDRAW files hold vector shapes, text, colours and pages. Sign makers, printers and many designers, especially in Eastern Europe and Latin America, work in CDR.

Illustrator, Inkscape and most other programs open CDR poorly or not at all. Converting to SVG, PDF or EPS makes the artwork usable elsewhere.
