The PES file already contains stitches. Conversion carries those stitches into TAP wherever the output format supports the same commands. 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.

## How it works

1. **Upload artwork or a stitch file** — Choose embroidery files for private conversion
2. **Choose conversion outputs** — Choose the format your machine expects.
3. **Output validation** — Check dimensions, stitch count, thread count, jumps, trims, colour changes, and the final end command.
