What is a CLD file?
A .CLD file is typically a CD or DVD label design file. Software like Nero CoverDesigner and Dataland CD Label Designer use this format to store graphic layouts, text formatting, and image placements for printable disc covers. Hardware manufacturers also use this extension; for example, a .CLD file is often a Canon CD Label Template used by Canon printing software.
Other Uses for CLD Files
Because .CLD is a generic file extension, it has multiple possible meanings depending on the software that created it. It can be an XML-based UML class diagram for AmaterasUML, a virus definition database for ClamAV, a digital tachograph data file, or even a localization data file for video games.
How to open CLD files?
If you do not know the origin of your file, guessing the correct software can be difficult. You can use viewer.online/cld to analyze .CLD files to identify their exact format and creator software. The tool shows which programs can open the file and usually previews it directly in your browser.
Summary
Because many .CLD label files internally use the known DOC format, viewer.online/cld can safely open and display them online, eliminating compatibility problems. If your .CLD file has a different internal format, our tool will identify it so you can download the correct software.
