CorelDRAW-Dateien (CDR) sind im Bereich Grafikdesign weit verbreitet, doch nicht jedes System kann sie nativ öffnen oder verarbeiten. Insbesondere wenn es um die Weitergabe an Partner mit spezialisierter Software oder die Integration in bestimmte technische Dokumentationen geht, ist ein universelleres Format oft unerlässlich. Hier kommt das Bitmap-Format (BMP) ins Spiel: Es bietet eine pixelbasierte Darstellung, die von nahezu jeder Anwendung verstanden wird. Unser Konverter wurde entwickelt, um Ihnen diesen Übergang so reibungslos wie möglich zu gestalten. Wir legen Wert auf höchste Präzision bei der Umwandlung Ihrer Vektorgrafiken in pixelbasierte Bilder, ohne dabei Kompromisse bei der Bildqualität einzugehen. So stellen Sie sicher, dass Ihre Designs in jedem Kontext korrekt dargestellt werden, von der CAD-Integration bis zur Archivierung.

  • Technische Zeichnungen für Fertigungsanlagen
  • Layouts für Produktkataloge

In Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz ist die präzise Darstellung von technischen Grafiken und Bauplänen von großer Bedeutung. Die Konvertierung von CDR zu BMP hilft, Kompatibilitätsprobleme in der oft heterogenen Softwarelandschaft von Ingenieurbüros und Produktionsbetrieben zu vermeiden.
