TheDraw Save File (.TD; also known as TheDraw format, TheDraw Data File, or TheDraw Setup Save) is a layered character graphics format native to TheDraw, a character graphics editor for MS-DOS. There is also a TheDraw Library (.TDL) format, which apparently stores multiple .TD files.

See also TheDraw font. Unlike the font format, TD does not appear to have been used much for sharing artwork.

See ANSI Art for more about this style of character graphics.
