What is MIME type "application/x-coreldraw"?

A MIME type is a string that tells browsers and other tools how to handle a particular kind of file.

The MIME type application/x-coreldraw is used for CorelDRAW drawing files. It tells your system that the file is a design document created with CorelDRAW and is usually stored as a compressed file, like CDR.

It functions as the guide for programs to open and process these layered, vector-based graphics. The zipped format makes handling large designs easier and faster.

• Main use: Editing and storing detailed graphic designs.
• Content versatility: Combines vector shapes, text, and bitmap images in one file.
• Efficiency: Compression helps reduce file size and improve transfer speeds.

This MIME type assures that systems and software know how to interpret and display complex design elements properly. For further details on MIME standards, check the MIME Wikipedia page.
