What is an AI file?

AI stands for Adobe Illustrator Artwork. It’s a graphics file format developed by Adobe systems for containing vector-based drawings. AI files are ideal for Logo and Print media because they retain optimum quality even if they are on their highest zoom level. Unlike EPS, AI graphics have restricted and compact syntax which add more flexibility for the users. Although they’re native to Adobe Illustrator, AI files run great on CorelDRAW.

How to open AI file format

1. Create a New Document
Launch CorelDRAW and select New Document. Select desired canvas size and colors.

2. Select your AI File
Go to File> Import. The file browser will appear. Select the AI file you want to import and click Import.

3. Position Image on Canvas
Using the cursor select where you want the image to be placed and click and drag to position the image on the canvas.

4. Edit your AI File
Make your edits to the image.

5. Save your Document
Save the file before closing to the your desired location on your computer.
