I imported the graphic file into my Wilcom software and clicked around a few times to convert the image to stitches. This is what you can expect if you want to simply “convert” graphics to stitches. Some common vector graphic formats are eps, svg, dxf, ai, and cdr. Some common raster graphic formats are jpg, png, bmp, and gif. If this was a raster file instead of a vector, some additional steps would need to be taken to reduce the number of colors in the design.
#PES FILE CONVERTER PROFESSIONAL#
I used Wilcom’s Embroidery Studio software which is a top-notch professional program. So, let’s look at some embroidery files that I created from high-quality vector. These crafters are looking for a quick trace function similar to what exists in vinyl/graphics.
I know from interacting with customers that many crafters who are familiar with vinyl and digital cutting are entering the embroidery world. Prices range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. Not only is it respectful, it will prevent expensive and time-consuming legal troubles down the road.Īhhh, but there *is* a way to convert and it’s called auto-digitizing and there are quite a few programs out there (and even machines!) promising to easily convert your graphics to embroidery files with a few clicks. IMPORTANT: Before digitizing an image or having it digitized or tracing it for any other use, please, please, please be sure you have the proper license/permission from the artist. Graphics files need to be digitized for embroidery, preferably by a skilled and experienced digitizer. Graphics files are made up of shapes and objects (vector) or pixels (raster/bitmap) and embroidery files are made up of stitch commands that tell the machine when to start, stop, change colors, what length of stitch, what direction, and many other variables. They are two totally different types of files. As a digitizer, some of the questions I’m frequently asked are, “How do I convert a JPG to a PES file? What software do you recommend for creating my own designs?” I usually answer by letting the person know that there’s not really a way to simply “convert” a graphics format to an embroidery format and end up with a usable design.
