Key notes
The files created using the SmartDraw app use the .SDR file extension. SmartDraw is a web-based diagramming tool popularly known for designing flowcharts. In this guide, we will talk about simple ways to open a .SDR file on your Windows computer.
How can I open the SDR files on Windows?
1. Use the SmartDraw Import function
You can make the changes to the file and download it again in the same format. However, if you want to Export in Office, JPG, PNG or PDF format, you need to have the licensed version.
Alternatively, you can open the file in the SmartDraw app and make the changes. Once done, while on the document, pressCtrl+Ato select the content. Now, open Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or Paint to paste the content and save it to any format you like.
2. Use a universal file opener
If you often work with files with different formats, we recommend you use auniversal file opener; here is the list of best choices.
To conclude, you can only use the SmartDraw app to open and edit the .SDR files. As per WR experts, no SDR file converter tool available online works properly, so we recommend not using any of them as you might end up losing the data on the file.
Remember that you should never change the file extension of a file manually as it could corrupt the data and leave it unreadable.
