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.
click-stitch exports PES, DST, JEF, EXP, VP3, and XXX — covering Brother, Baby Lock, Tajima, Janome, Elna, Melco, Bernina, Husqvarna Viking, Pfaff, and Singer machines. See our format comparison guide for details.
Yes. The free plan includes 3 conversions per day, up to 3 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.
Digitizing converts a flat image into stitch instructions — needle movements, stitch types, and thread color changes — that an embroidery machine can read. 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.
Free accounts support up to 3 colors and 3-inch output. Premium removes the color limit and increases the maximum size to 12 inches.
Yes. The Text Designer opens on a blank canvas — type your words, pick from around 50 pre-digitized satin embroidery fonts, arch the baseline for curved lettering, and download a stitch file. It's free to use and free to download from, with nothing uploaded or traced.
Yes. Cross stitch mode finds the pixel grid in your sprite — even in upscaled or JPEG-compressed artwork — and stitches every logical pixel as a real X. Size it by cross size in millimetres or by finished width. See the pixel art to cross stitch guide.
Yes. Outline mode traces a drawing down to its centerlines and sews it as a continuous single-thread running stitch, with a line weight control for bolder lines. It's built for line drawings, sketches and simple logos — photos are hit and miss. See the line art embroidery guide.
Yes, Premium subscriptions can be cancelled anytime from your account page — no long-term contract.
