CDR at a glance
CDR
Convert to CDR when the recipient will continue editing or producing the artwork in CorelDRAW-based environments, especially in print, signage, or fabrication-adjacent workflows.
It is useful when native Corel compatibility is the priority.
For more neutral exchange, PDF, SVG, or EPS are usually easier handoff formats.
WV at a glance
WV
Convert to WV when you need lossless audio in a WavPack-based environment, especially for personal archives, high-resolution collections, or workflows that may later use hybrid/correction features.
It is appropriate when technical efficiency and exact fidelity matter more than broad casual playback support.
For widest lossless compatibility, FLAC is usually the easier default.
