01Create new stitches

Image digitising

Start with a clean logo, icon or flat-colour illustration. Our automated pipeline traces the artwork and generates a new stitch plan.

Two ways to get stitch-ready

From artwork or file
to fabric.

Digitise clean artwork into new stitches or preserve an existing design while changing its machine format.

01

Turn clean artwork into stitch-ready designs.

Upload clean artwork, choose the finished width, then let the software handle thread colours and validate each requested file.

One design.
More machines.

Move embroidery designs between home and commercial machine formats without rebuilding them from scratch. Read 21 formats and write 18: PES, DST, JEF, EXP, VP3, XXX, PEC, U01, TBF, HUS, SEW, SHV, PCS, VIP, TAP, DSB, DSZ and KSM. PHB, PHC and PCM are accepted as sources only because reliable open-source writers are not available.

A clean path from upload to stitch-out

01

Upload artwork or a stitch file

Start with JPG, PNG or SVG artwork—or an existing machine embroidery file.

02

Choose size and format

For images, add the finished width. Then choose the machine formats you need.

03

Validate and download

The engine reparses generated results and records stitch metrics before private downloads are released.

Image digitising and conversion run in isolated software jobs. Results still depend on source artwork quality and on information supported by each target format.

Simple pricing

Pay for output,
not complexity.

Made for real workflows

One embroidery tool for artwork and stitch files.

Create new machine-ready designs or solve format mismatches without confusing the two services.

FOR MAKERS

Turn JPG, PNG and SVG artwork into embroidery files

Submit clean artwork with the finished width and desired machine formats, then follow automated colour handling and digitising through validation and private delivery.

FOR ONLINE SELLERS

Digitise once, prepare the formats customers expect

Keep digitising and machine-format conversion separate while managing both services from the same account and download history.

FOR EMBROIDERY SHOPS

Get customer files production-ready, faster

Track artwork orders, convert supported stitch files, review dimensions and colour changes, and retain a useful audit trail for production work.

From a customer’s logo to the right machine file.

Automated digitising and file conversion stay separate, clear, and trackable.

Clear before you commitSee requirements, status, compatibility warnings, generated files, and delivery details before downloading.

Your original stays originalOutputs are stored separately. A conversion never overwrites the design you upload.

No format lock-inDownload authorised deliverables and use them in the machine workflow you choose.

Questions, answered

Before you press start.

Still unsure about a machine or format? Ask us directly.

Yes. Upload clean artwork, choose the finished width and output formats, then our automated VTracer and Ink/Stitch pipeline handles the thread colours, generates the stitches and validates the files. Photos, gradients and very fine text may need simplified source artwork.

A standard conversion preserves the original design dimensions and stitch path wherever the target format supports them. Known limitations are flagged, and a test stitch is recommended before production.

The converter writes PES, DST, JEF, EXP, VP3, XXX, PEC, U01, TBF, HUS, SEW, SHV, PCS, VIP, TAP, DSB, DSZ and KSM. It also reads PHB, PHC and PCM as conversion sources. Every generated machine file is parsed again and checked before release.

Every completed job includes the selected machine files, a software-rendered stitch preview, thread chart, production worksheet and a ZIP package. EXP jobs also include Bernina-compatible INF colour information and a BMP preview companion.

Not currently. Those are proprietary or editable design formats that the production engine cannot safely write and validate. We do not relabel another file or provide a fake download in their place.

Some formats store full colour information, while others store only colour-change stops. You may need to assign your preferred thread chart at the machine.

Batch selection is available for accounts with batch processing enabled. Free processing accepts one file at a time, while each batch source is validated and shown as an individual result.

No software is needed to submit digitising work, convert a supported file, review status, or download a result. Advanced manual stitch editing may still require specialist embroidery software.
