JUST NODU
Open and Preview CDR Files Online
JUST NODU is a free CDR viewer: open CorelDRAW (.cdr) files on your phone or computer without installing CorelDRAW, then save them as PDF or pictures.
How to open a CDR file
- Tap Open a CDR file above (or open the JUST NODU Android app).
- Choose your .cdr file. It is opened by CorelDRAW on our server, so the result looks like the original design.
- The preview appears in a few seconds. Zoom in to check text, colours and every page.
- Save it as PDF, PNG or JPG, or open it in the NODU Editor to change text and move objects.
What you can do with a CDR file
- Preview every page of the design
- Convert CDR to PDF for printing or sending to a customer
- Convert CDR to PNG or JPG for WhatsApp and social media
- Save the file for an older CorelDRAW version, so it opens on an older computer
- Edit text and move objects in the NODU Editor
Convert CDR to PDF
- Open the .cdr file with Open a CDR file.
- Check every page in the preview.
- Tap Save and choose PDF. Text and shapes stay as vectors, so the PDF prints sharp at any size.
Need a picture for WhatsApp or Instagram instead? Choose PNG or JPG. More detail, including which format to pick for printing: Convert CDR to PDF, PNG or JPG.
What is a CDR file?
A .cdr file is a drawing saved by CorelDRAW, the design program used by most printing presses and DTP centres in India for visiting cards, wedding cards, flex banners and labels. Windows, Mac, Android and iPhone cannot open it on their own, which is why a CDR file you receive on WhatsApp or e-mail usually shows "can't open file".
How to open a CDR file on a laptop or PC (Windows, Mac)
- Open justnodu.com/cdr-viewer in Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari. Nothing to install.
- Click Open a CDR file and pick the file, or drag it onto the page.
- Check every page, zoom in on text, then save as PDF, PNG or JPG.
How to open a CDR file on mobile (Android, iPhone)
Open justnodu.com in the phone browser, or install the free JUST NODU Android app. On Android you can also tap a CDR file in WhatsApp or Files and choose JUST NODU to open it.
Which CorelDRAW versions open
CDR files from current versions (2017 to 2025) and older ones such as X5, X6, X7 and X8 open, and most even older files open too. Very old, damaged or password-protected files may not. Need to send a file to someone with an older CorelDRAW? Use the CDR version converter.
Devices, sizes and limits
- Works in any modern browser on Android, iPhone, Windows and Mac, and in the free Android app
- Files up to 1 GB
- Files from older and current CorelDRAW versions open; very old, damaged or password-protected files may not
- If a font used in the design is not available, a similar font is shown, so text can look slightly different
Privacy
Your file is sent over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection to our server only to make the preview or the export you ask for, and it is deleted automatically when that is done. See the privacy policy.
