.CPT File

File extension cpt is mainly related to Corel PHOTO-PAINT, a digital photo editor, which is currently distributed as part of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite.

The .cpt file represents digital stored photographs that were edited using the program from original sources.

Some old versions of Corel PaintShop Pro seems to have also used .cpt files, but newest version no longer work with them. Unfortunately, we couldn't verify the true nature of that type of .cpt files and it may be possible that it was actually the same format.

It is also known to us, that the CPT format evolved, and older versions of PHOTO-PAINT might not be able to open/import latest .cpt files properly.

MIME types:
application/x-cpt

How to open:

As far as we know, the best way to open *.cpt graphics is to use latest version of Corel PHOTO-PAINT.

How to convert:

You can export (convert) .cpt files to several common graphics format with the default program. Some 3rd party converters also claim to support CPT format, but this is usually the case only for the older versions of the program.
