If you work with both CorelDRAW and Figma, you may have faced the challenge of transferring your designs between the two platforms. CorelDRAW is a powerful vector design tool, but Figma has become the go-to solution for collaborative, cloud-based design work.
Unfortunately, Figma doesn’t support CorelDRAW’s .cdr file format by default, making it difficult to bring your designs over without losing quality or editability.
That’s where corelDRAW.to.design comes in! This Figma plugin allows you to import .cdr files directly into Figma while preserving layers, vectors, and other design elements. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the simple process of converting and importing CorelDRAW files into Figma.
How to import CorelDRAW files into Figma
Here are the quick, simple steps to follow to get your CorelDRAW files into Figma as editable designs…
1) Run the Figma plugin corelDRAW.to.design
Open your Figma workspace and launch corelDRAW.to.design from the plugins menu. You’ll find it in Figma Community.
2) Drag and drop your CorelDRAW file
Simply drag and drop your .cdr file into the plugin interface, or click the ‘Browse’ button to select the file from your computer.
3) Your file is converted
The plugin will process your CorelDRAW file and convert it into an editable format that Figma understands. The conversion ensures that layers, shapes, and text remain intact.
4) Edit your file in Figma
Once the conversion is complete, your design will appear in Figma as fully editable layers. You can resize, recolor, and modify every element just as if it were originally created in Figma.
