Convert CDR to VSD

File Extension CDR
Full Name CorelDRAW Vector Or Bitmap Format

Files with the .CDR extension contain vector images or drawings saved in a format that is unique and restricted to the CorelDRAW software – as such, not many other programs currently support it.

File Extension VSD
Full Name Microsoft Visio Diagram Document Format

Files with the .VSD extension contain business diagram project data – visual objects, information flows, text, data about imported sources. These projects can, for example, present process and work diagrams, as well as networks, software, company charts, and database models.

What is file format conversion?

File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "CDR") to another (referred to as "VSD"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, CDR file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format CDR to format VSD becomes essential.

So, how can we perform CDR to VSD file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format CDR and transforming it into format VSD. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of CDR to VSD converters.

How to convert the CDR file to VSD?

If you have already downloaded one of the converters and installed it on your computer, you can proceed to the appropriate conversion process of CDR to VSD. Handling all the programs is usually very intuitive and is based on the same pattern of conduct. We will briefly discuss a few steps that you always need to go through while changing the format of the CDR file:

  • Please indicate on your computer the source file CDR, the format of which you are going to change
  • Load the CDR file to the application
  • Select the output format of the VSD file (the one that we want to achieve)
  • Select the location to save the output file VSD on the disk (the place where the program will save the converted file)
  • Confirm conversion
  • Wait for a moment
  • Enjoy the converted VSD file that can be found in the location selected in step 4
I cannot see the file extensions. What should I do?

File extensions are not normally displayed to users. To change this, go to Control Panel, select Appearance and Personalization and Folder Options. Next, select the View and find the option "Hide extensions for known file types". The option should be deselected (cleared) and confirmed with OK.
