CDT to EPS Converter

CDT (CorelDRAW Template) is a template file format used by CorelDRAW, Corel Corporation's vector graphics editor available since January 1989. A CDT file is structurally identical to a standard CDR document — sharing the same RIFF-based container, vector object types, color definitions, and page layout capabilities — but is designated as a reusable starting point for new designs rather than a finished artwork file. When opened in CorelDRAW, a CDT creates a new untitled document pre-populated with the template's content, leaving the original template unchanged for repeated use. This workflow mirrors the template model found in office productivity suites, adapted for graphic design. CDT files commonly contain pre-built layouts for business cards, brochures, letterheads, certificates, posters, and other standardized print materials, complete with placeholder text, guide lines, bleed areas, and properly configured color spaces for print output. One advantage is workflow consistency — design teams can distribute branded templates ensuring every new document starts with correct dimensions, margins, fonts, and color palettes aligned to corporate identity standards. The format also saves significant setup time: rather than configuring document properties and recreating layout elements from scratch, designers begin with a production-ready foundation. Corel ships hundreds of CDT templates with CorelDRAW installations, and the format is supported across CorelDRAW versions with the same compatibility considerations as CDR.
