Can anyone tell me how to convert a corel draw file (.cdr format) to .jpg format without having to install corel draw? Thanks!

well if you don't intend editing the converted file then jpeg is a good option but if you intend to edit the file you should convert to png. i don't think fireworks can do it unless the cdr file isn't compressed(am not sure about this)

i don't think that is possible. u've to open the file first with coreldraw b4 you can export it in jpeg format.

I tried many progs recently but none of them could convert my cdr file. I was going to download trial CorelDRAW software from corel.com but found http://cdr.altesign.com which converted file for me. However it's not an automatic service, but manual conversion.

Why would i not simply open my .cdr file with the appropriate corel draw version that was used to create it and then export to a any format i want?

I use www.filespazz.com. It pretty cool website. you can upload the and save in different formats. And it all free. you get the file e-mail to you within 5 minutes. Its the only sites that mess with coreldraw converisons. that you i have to download any software i don't need.

I agree with jargonsix: FileSpazz.com is great! But, if your CorelDRAW file has more than one page or has unconverted fonts that you want to keep in your converted file, you can try this manual conversion service at http://cdr.altesign.com instead

Export file and save in any format

Group the cdr document
Convert it to bitmap
Right click on it, from the drop down menu click on save bitmap as
Then choose jpg

export the file and save as jpeg. i do that a lot

use bb to change the file extension. just change it to filename.jpg
