Advanced options
  • Available title, author, description, copyright and keywords use the shared metadata editor and supported target writer. Document creation time is not a photo capture date. Original CMYK profiles are never attached to converted RGB.
  • Transparency is replaced with white by default. Change the background in Advanced options.
  • Generic HEIF output uses one opaque 8-bit sRGB HEVC still image and requires a supported native encoder and an accepted source route. Some sources remain gated.
  • HEIF container: libheif (LGPL); licences, source and relink files

What happens when you convert CDR to HEIF?

Local document import

Supported pages, paths, text, gradients and bitmap resources are imported locally. Document-specific version, font and unsupported-effect diagnostics describe preservation limits. Native Corel layers and print separations are not inferred from drawing groups or RGB appearance.

Vectors become pixels

Supported self-contained static SVG shapes are rasterized at the decoded dimensions. Text, scripts, animation, embedded images and external resources are rejected. Paths become pixels and do not remain editable vectors.

Opaque output

Transparency is replaced with white by default. Change the background in Advanced options.

Is CDR → HEIF right for you?

Good choice when

  • HEIF fits your delivery use: Device photography & image collections.
  • You review the document warnings before export.
  • You need a fixed-resolution raster asset.
  • An opaque image is acceptable for your destination.

Probably not when

  • You require a complete CorelDRAW replacement.
  • You need editable paths, text or resolution-independent scaling.
  • You need cutouts or translucent edges for compositing.
  • You require identical samples without a defined colour and precision policy.

CDR to HEIF conversion details

Local document import
Supported pages, paths, text, gradients and bitmap resources are imported locally. Document-specific version, font and unsupported-effect diagnostics describe preservation limits. Native Corel layers and print separations are not inferred from drawing groups or RGB appearance.
Vectors become pixels
Supported self-contained static SVG shapes are rasterized at the decoded dimensions. Text, scripts, animation, embedded images and external resources are rejected. Paths become pixels and do not remain editable vectors.
Opaque output
Transparency is replaced with white by default. Change the background in Advanced options.
Sample precision & colour
Rendered SDR output uses 8-bit display pixels; source precision and original ICC profiles are not retained. Colour handling depends on the decoder and supported source variant.
Compression
CDR: Not a pixel codec → HEIF: Depends on variant CDR: CDR remains source only. No conversion writes a CDR document. HEIF: HEIF defines the container. Compression may be lossy, lossless or uncompressed depending on its codec binding; one global quality or bit-depth value would be misleading.
Transparency
CDR: Yes → HEIF: Yes
Animation
CDR: No → HEIF: Yes
Colour depth
HEIF: Codec/profile dependent
HDR
HEIF: Codec/profile dependent
Multiple images
HEIF: Collections & sequences
Dimensions
Conversion keeps the decoded image dimensions unless you edit or resize it. Orientation is applied by supported decoders. ICO fits the image into one selected square size; PDF page layout and rendering DPI are configurable. Device, memory and codec limits still apply.
Metadata
Available title, author, description, copyright and keywords use the shared metadata editor and supported target writer. Document creation time is not a photo capture date. Original CMYK profiles are never attached to converted RGB.

Common questions

Which source information survives?

Supported pages, paths, text, gradients and bitmap resources are imported locally. Document-specific version, font and unsupported-effect diagnostics describe preservation limits. Native Corel layers and print separations are not inferred from drawing groups or RGB appearance.

Will HEIF remain scalable vector artwork?

Supported self-contained static SVG shapes are rasterized at the decoded dimensions. Text, scripts, animation, embedded images and external resources are rejected. Paths become pixels and do not remain editable vectors.

What happens to transparent areas?

Transparency is replaced with white by default. Change the background in Advanced options.

Are bit depth and colour values guaranteed to match?

Rendered SDR output uses 8-bit display pixels; source precision and original ICC profiles are not retained. Colour handling depends on the decoder and supported source variant.

Will metadata and colour profiles be retained?

Available title, author, description, copyright and keywords use the shared metadata editor and supported target writer. Document creation time is not a photo capture date. Original CMYK profiles are never attached to converted RGB. Rendered SDR output uses 8-bit display pixels; source precision and original ICC profiles are not retained.
