Frequently asked questions
Do I need CorelDRAW installed to convert CDR to AI?
No. AsanConvert processes the conversion on our servers — you never need CorelDRAW installed on your computer or Mac. Just upload your file and download the result.
Does this CDR to AI converter work on Mac?
Yes. The converter works in any browser on Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone, or Android — no software to download or install.

Yes — free users get 10 conversions per day, up to 150 MB per file, with no account required. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited conversions and 500 MB files.
How long does CDR to AI conversion take?
Most conversions complete in under 30 seconds. Complex files with many embedded elements or high page counts may take a little longer.
Why is AsanConvert better than CloudConvert or Zamzar for CDR files?
CloudConvert and Zamzar use the open-source libcdr library, which fails on newer CDR versions and complex designs. AsanConvert uses a proprietary AI Engine for accurate colours, correct fonts, and support for every CDR version from v8 to v27 (2026).
Are my files kept private?
Yes. Files are uploaded over an encrypted TLS connection, processed on our isolated servers, and automatically deleted after 24 hours. We never access or store your file contents.
