CorelDRAW is a design software that allows you to edit and create your own images from scratch. It is comparable to Adobe Illustrator. If you are running CorelDRAW on your home computer and need to import it into a different system running Adobe Illustrator you do not need to convert the file because Adobe Illustrator is capable of running and editing a wide range of files, including CorelDRAW.
- Click “File” and select “Save” to save the CorelDRAW file you are working on. Make sure your file can open in Adobe by saving it as a CorelDRAW file, then saving the document again, this time as a .jpg file. Adjust the file format by clicking “File,” “Save” and select the pull-down arrow next to “Format.” In the format options chose .”jpg.”
