Two tools in one
Start with what you have.
Choose the workflow that matches your starting file. Both end with a machine-ready embroidery download.
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.

Production workspace
Go beyond conversion. Finish in Studio.
Edit stitch files, create lettering, organize reusable designs, and prepare production batches in one connected workspace.
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 keep automatic colors or set a thread library, color ceiling, and stitch limit before validation.
Review size, colours, stitch count and delivery formats before using the final files.

03
Convert existing stitch files.
Prepare PES, DST, JEF and other supported output formats through a tracked conversion queue.

Format freedom
One design. More machines.
Move embroidery designs between home and commercial machine formats without rebuilding them from scratch. Read 23 formats and write 20: PES, DST, JEF, JEF+, JPX, EXP, VP3, XXX, PEC, U01, TBF, HUS, SEW, SHV, PCS, VIP, TAP, DSB, DSZ and KSM. PHB, PHC and PCM are accepted as source formats only and cannot be selected as outputs.
Start with JPG, PNG or SVG artwork—or an existing machine embroidery file.
02
Choose size and format
For images, add the finished width and optional production limits. 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.

No format lock-inDownload authorised deliverables and use them in the machine workflow you choose.
The stitch preview is free and does not require an account. Daily and monthly preview limits apply. Downloading the machine file, ZIP or worksheet is a separate unlock. Machine-file downloads require processing credits, single-file checkout or an active subscription allowance. Credits unlock files; they do not start the job.
Yes. Upload clean artwork, choose the finished width and output formats, then our automated digitising workflow handles the thread colours, generates the stitches and validates the files. Photos, gradients and very fine text may need simplified source artwork.
Yes. The free viewers open all 23 supported embroidery source formats without starting a conversion or using a processing credit. They render the parsed stitch path and report dimensions, thread sequence, colour changes, jumps and trims. No account is required.
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, JEF+, JPX, 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 a software-rendered stitch preview and thread chart. The selected machine files, production worksheet and ZIP package stay locked until you unlock the download. EXP jobs also include Bernina-compatible INF colour information and a BMP preview companion after unlock.
Every generated machine file is reopened and parsed before release. The service records dimensions, stitch and thread counts, colour changes, jumps, trims, warnings and format-specific limitations, then produces a software-rendered preview. Always run a physical test sew before production.
The REST API lets trusted backend services list formats and account usage, create private digitising or conversion jobs, inspect status and validation details, retry eligible jobs, and use signed preview or download URLs. It uses scoped Bearer API keys and publishes an OpenAPI 3.1 description. API keys must not be embedded in browser or mobile client code.
Yes. Compatible AI clients can connect to the remote Streamable HTTP MCP endpoint with OAuth 2.1 and PKCE. After the user authorizes the connection, an agent can check formats, usage and owned jobs, or create a processing preview after confirming the upload with the user.
MCP is designed for user-authorized AI clients: the user signs in through OAuth, grants the `mcp:use` scope and can revoke the connection. The REST API uses scoped keys for trusted backend code. An AI client should not ask for the user’s password or a long-lived API key.
Yes. Processing jobs are account-bound regardless of how they are created. Source files, job history and output metadata are not public pages, and preview or download links are authorized or short-lived signed URLs. Filenames and uploaded content are treated as data, not agent instructions.
Yes. The converter creates single-design JEF+ and standard stitch-only JPX files and validates their stitches, dimensions and end command. EMB, ART and JAN remain unsupported because reliable production writers are not available.
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.
