Embroidery File Conversion

Convert your image or vector artwork into embroidery ready files such as DST, PES, or EMB. Learn the differences between file types and what makes a good conversion.

Why File Conversion Matters

Embroidery machines can only read specific formats. A proper conversion ensures color accuracy, smooth stitch flow, and correct scaling for production.

Supported Input & Output Formats

Conversion Workflow

  1. Upload or email your logo or artwork.
  2. Our digitizer redraws or cleans up the file if necessary.
  3. We digitize the design into your preferred format.
  4. You receive both editable (EMB/OFM) and machine ready (DST/PES) files.

Native Working Files vs Machine Files

A native working file is not the same as a machine output file. Different software uses different editable formats. Melco DesignShop uses OFM, Wilcom and Hatch use EMB, and Embroidery Legacy Digitizing Software uses JDX as its working file format.

The native file is kept for future editing inside its software. A separate machine format such as DST, EXP or PES is then saved for production. See What Is a JDX File? and the Embroidery File Format Comparison.
