In its first versions, the CDR file format was a completely proprietary file format primarily used for vector graphic drawings and developed by Corel Corporation.

In 1985 entrepreneur Michael Cowpland founded Corel (abbreviation of "Cowpland Research Laboratory") Corporation, a software house specialized in graphics processing. In september 1987 software engineers Michel Bouillon and Pat Beirne start to develop a vector-based illustration program to bundle with their desktop publishing systems. CorelDRAW was inspired by user requirements from a product called Corel Headline, which was developed specifically for Corel Ventura Publisher. Originally code-named Waldo, for the robot arm that can mimic hand movements, CorelDRAW made its debut in 1989, becoming the first graphics software for Microsoft Windows. CorelDRAW introduced a full-color vector illustration and layout program - the first of its kind. Two years later, Corel introduced the first all-in-one graphics suite with version 3, which combined vector illustration, page layout, photo editing and much more in a single package.
