Clean artwork upstream saves time at the machine. These export settings help logos convert to embroidery with fewer surprises.
Simplify the design: flatten effects, remove drop shadows, and limit the number of colors to what you actually plan to stitch.
Embroidery works best with solid fills and clear edges. Thin lines below roughly 1.5 mm may not sew reliably on home machines.
Use Download → SVG for vector logos, or PNG with a transparent background for simple marks.
Avoid downloading JPG. StitchConvert does not accept JPG directly—convert to PNG or SVG first if that is all Canva offers.
Save As or Export as SVG with outlines converted to paths (no live fonts unless you outline text first).
For PNG, export at 300 DPI or higher at the size you intend to sew, with a transparent background.
Upload to StitchConvert, pick your hoop size, map thread colors to the detected regions, and review the stitch preview before paying.
