File formats

Turn a picture into any embroidery format

Every machine brand reads its own stitch file. Upload a picture once and download the format your machine reads, or a zip of all of them with a printable thread sheet.

How it works

1. Add your picture Upload a JPG, PNG, WebP, BMP or GIF. Bold, flat colours and clear outlines stitch best, and a PNG with a transparent background leaves the background unstitched.
2. Pick your machine and hoop Choose your machine and hoop and the design is sized to fit, with its stitch speed and format set.
3. Match real threads Every colour is matched to a real spool from your thread brand, with its number. Change any of them.
4. Preview and download Watch every stitch sew out on screen, then download the file and copy it to your machine.
