Convert CDR to EPS that prints right.
Trace it below to see where auto-trace breaks — then let a human deliver closed-shape, separation-ready EPS your RIP or press interprets cleanly.
The short answer
Send the .cdr itself, even an old version that won't open cleanly. Exporting it to PNG for a tracer leaves gaps that a print RIP or press can't run, so a designer rebuilds it from the original instead: for print RIPs, sign software and legacy presses, closed vector shapes, spot-color separations, outlined type in 24 hours, guaranteed.
CDR is messy. A print RIP or press needs clean geometry.
A CDR is CorelDRAW's proprietary file, and its internals change with almost every release. Open an old one outside Corel and you get missing fonts, dropped effects, shifted colors, or a flat 'can't read this version' error. Even a clean import arrives with live lens and PowerClip objects, outline-vs-fill quirks, and texture fills that don't survive a naive export — so the file you hand a vendor isn't the file they can run.
A print RIP or press can't run that. It needs closed vector shapes, spot-color separations, outlined type — the things auto-trace never produces. We rebuild the geometry by hand to satisfy every one, then deliver native EPS plus a PDF proof.

We rebuild it
A human redraws clean shapes, sets real fills and tidies the structure.
Clean EPS in 24h
You get native EPS plus a PDF proof, guaranteed.
Same CDR. Two very different EPSs.
| For a print RIP or press | Human redraw · VectorWiz | Instant auto-trace |
|---|---|---|
| Shapes | Closed vectors | Open sub-paths |
| Color | Named separations | Unsplittable blends |
| Type | Outlined, safe | Missing-font risk |
| Raster | None — pure vector | Hidden embedded images |
Before you send it to production.
Can I convert CDR to EPS myself?
Not with the instant tracer: it reads PNG, JPG, HEIC and WebP, not CDR files. You don't need to export anything for an order, though: upload the .cdr itself and a designer rebuilds it from the original. CDR is a closed Corel format that changes between versions, so anything but CorelDRAW opens it wrong, with dropped effects or shifted colors, which is why a human rebuild is the safer route for production.
Why won't an auto-traced EPS print cleanly?
Because CDR is CorelDRAW's native artwork, and auto-trace turns that into stray nodes and broken geometry. A print RIP or press needs closed vector shapes, spot-color separations, outlined type. A human rebuild resolves all of it.
What do I get back?
Native EPS plus a PDF proof — built to print sharp at any size, with a 100% remake guarantee.
How fast is a human CDR to EPS redraw?
24 hours standard, with 12-hour rush available and a 100% remake guarantee if it isn't production-correct.
