What opens

MacDraw, MacDraw II, MacDraw Pro and ClarisDraw; MacPaint and FullPaint; SuperPaint; Canvas; Cricket Draw; MacDraft; FreeHand 1 and 2; and the drawing, painting and presentation documents of ClarisWorks, AppleWorks, Works for Mac, GreatWorks and BeagleWorks.

How faithful

Shapes, lines, fills, text and bitmap paintings come through. Some fill patterns are shown as flat tints, and very unusual effects may be simplified. Save the drawing as a PDF to keep it; the PDF keeps the shapes as sharp vectors.

Questions about this

Can I edit the drawing afterwards?

Open the PDF in a drawing program such as Inkscape, Affinity or Illustrator: shapes stay as shapes.
