Embroidery tools

Open a SHV file. See every stitch.

A Viking Designer format for legacy embroidery workflows. Preview the design before loading it onto a machine. The viewer parses the real stitch data and reports the design size, thread sequence, jumps, trims, and colour stops.

Real SHV parsing

The server reads the machine-file structure and stitch commands. Renaming another file to .shv is rejected.

Production metrics

Check dimensions, stitch count, thread count, jumps, trims, colour changes, and the final end command.

Short-lived processing

Viewer uploads are streamed to the restricted engine and are not added to conversion history or free-job usage.

SHV compatibility: SHV maps colours to its fixed Viking palette and stores limited thread metadata.
