Vectorize or embroider your images to professional quality
A graphic designer's precision, automated: vectors with clean Bézier curves and faithful colors — or embroidery files where every stitch is computed for your machine. Delivered in under a minute, inspectable before you stitch.

HD vector
Pixelated 200pxWhat if your image became an embroidery file?
On the left, the source image. On the right, the machine file rendered thread by thread — DST, PES, JEF, VP3, EXP, U01 or XXX, no embroidery software required — delivered in under a minute. Madeira threads, automatic angle, underlay: every detail is designed for the shop.
Embroidery threads
Source imageFaithful render of the .dst file: every line is a real thread, drawn from the actual needle path. And on your result page, a simulator replays the stitching point by point.
Every stitch is computed
Density tunable to a tenth of a millimeter, automatic mix of cross-hatched and single-direction fills per shape, underlay 3× sparser. This close-up shows the real threads of the machine file — not a mockup.
Tajima, Brother, Janome, Pfaff & Husqvarna, Bernina, Barudan, Singer — exact colors in VP3, nearest machine thread in PES and JEF
Stitch simulation
Watch your embroidery stitch itself point by point — before the machine even starts.
Madeira Polyneon threads
Every color is snapped to the Madeira palette (~350 threads): you embroider with off-the-shelf bobbins.
Automatic hatch angle
Each shape gets the angle that follows its axis — the fill follows the motif, zero tuning.
Satin stitch for fine details
Thin strokes and lettering are embroidered with a tight zigzag, automatic underlay and pull compensation: full, crisp lines.
Stabilizing underlay
A sparse perpendicular pass before the fill: the pro standard against puckering and distortion.
Tatami anti-rail fill
Stitches are offset row after row: no visible columns on large areas, just like professional embroidery.
Cross-hatching
Two passes at 90° for full fabric coverage, with no directional striping.
Automatic thread trim
Thread is trimmed between distant areas: no floating threads between letters and rays.
PDF technical worksheet
Every embroidery conversion ships with its worksheet: stitch-out preview, dimensions, stitch count and thread palette in sewing order.
