Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about formats, pricing, and how digitizing works.

You can upload PNG, JPG, or SVG files. PNGs with transparent backgrounds and SVGs (vector art) tend to digitize the most cleanly since their shapes are already well-defined.

Yes. The free plan includes 3 conversions per day, up to 4 thread colors, up to 3-inch output size, background removal, and all 6 export formats — no watermarks, no software install. Premium ($3.99/mo) adds unlimited colors, sizing up to 12 inches, and the guided Wizard and Full Editor.

Upload an image, choose colors and size, and click-stitch generates the stitch file automatically. New to this? Read embroidery digitizing for beginners.

PES is used by Brother and Baby Lock machines, DST is the near-universal format used by Tajima and most industrial machines, and JEF is used by Janome and Elna. All three store the same basic stitch data; PES and JEF also embed thread color information.

No. Quick Convert handles the basics automatically, and the guided Wizard walks beginners through every step. No prior digitizing or design software experience is required.
