Free online embroidery digitizing
Veconvert is free embroidery digitizing software that runs in your browser. Embroidery digitizing here turns a JPG, PNG or SVG into a DST, PES or JEF your machine can sew: fills, satin outlines and running stitches, sized to your hoop. It is free embroidery software with nothing to install, and online embroidery digitizing that never uploads your design.
How to digitize for embroidery
- Pick simple artwork. A logo, badge or drawing with flat colours and clear edges digitizes best; a photograph does not sew well.
- Set the hoop and size. Choose your hoop (4 × 4 in up to 8 × 12 in) and the design width; it is fitted with room to spare.
- Choose the fill angle. Areas are filled at that angle with underlay; thin shapes become satin columns, lines running stitches.
- Check the stitches. The preview shows every stitch and colour, with the stitch count and sewing time.
- Download for your machine. DST for Tajima and most commercial machines, PES for Brother and Babylock, JEF for Janome. Sew a test first.
Machines that read these files
What it shows
| Every stitch | Drawn in its thread colour, as thread or as thin lines, on the fabric colour you pick. Jumps between areas can be shown dashed. |
| The sew-out | Drag the slider, or press Play, to watch the design stitch out in the order the machine sews it: useful for checking the order of colours and where the jumps go. |
| The numbers | The real size in millimetres and inches, the stitch count, colour changes, jumps and trims, the time it takes at 800 stitches a minute, and which standard hoops it fits. |
| The threads | PES and PEC name their Brother threads and JEF its Janome threads; each colour can be hidden to see what it covers. DST and EXP store no colours, so stand-in colours are used and the page says so. |

Questions
How do I convert Embroidery to JEF?
Drop your Embroidery file on this page, check the preview, and press Download. The JEF is made in a few seconds, with no sign-up.
Is my Embroidery file uploaded anywhere?
No. The embroidery to jef conversion runs in your browser, on your own device. The file never leaves it.
How do I convert a file to JEF?
Drop the embroidery file on this page and press Download JEF. PES, DST, JEF, EXP and PEC are read; the stitches are written again as JEF exactly as they are, in the same order, at the same size.
Can I convert a JPG or PNG to JEF?
Yes: drop the picture here and it is taken to the picture-to-JEF digitiser, which traces it into fills and satin outlines sized for your hoop and writes the JEF. Logos and simple drawings sew best; a photograph does not.
How do I open a PES, DST or JEF file without embroidery software?
Drop it on this page. It is read in your browser, nothing is installed and the file is not uploaded: the design appears stitch by stitch, with its size and stitch count.
Can I convert PES to DST, or DST to PES?
Yes. Open the file and press the format you want under "Save for another machine": PES for Brother and Babylock, DST for Tajima and most commercial machines, JEF for Janome. The stitches are kept exactly; a DST has no colours, so moving to it loses them, and moving from it the page asks your machine to pick.
Why are the colours of my DST file wrong?
A DST file does not store thread colours, only where the colour changes are. Every viewer has to guess; this one uses clearly different stand-in colours so each block can be told apart.
Will it tell me if the design fits my hoop?
Yes: the facts panel lists the standard hoops it fits, from 4 × 4 in (100 × 100 mm) up, by the design's real size.
Is it free?
Yes, and it needs no account.
Is this free embroidery digitizing software?
Yes. It is free embroidery digitizing software that runs in your browser: no download, no account and no trial. Your picture is digitized on your own computer and never uploaded.
What is embroidery digitizing?
Embroidery digitizing is turning artwork into a stitch file an embroidery machine can sew: every area becomes fill stitches or satin columns, every line a running stitch, in the order the machine sews them, with the colour changes between. The result is a DST, PES or JEF file rather than a picture.
Is there free embroidery software that works online?
This is free embroidery software online: digitize a JPG, PNG or SVG into DST, PES or JEF, open and check a stitch file, see its size, stitch count and hoop fit, and convert between formats. Nothing to install on Windows, Mac, a Chromebook or a phone.
How does online embroidery digitizing work here?
Online embroidery digitizing here happens in the page itself: the picture is traced into clean colour areas, each area is filled with stitches at the angle you choose, outlines get satin or running stitches, and the design is fitted to your hoop before the file is written.
How do I digitize for embroidery?
Start with a simple, clear picture - a logo or drawing with flat colours. Choose your hoop and the design width, pick the fill angle, and convert. Check the stitch preview and the stitch count, then download DST for Tajima and commercial machines, PES for Brother and Babylock, or JEF for Janome. Sew a test on scrap fabric first.
