Convert SVG to embroidery files (PES + DST)

Upload an SVG logo or design and download PES and DST embroidery files. Preview stitches before you pay.

Why start with SVG

SVG files store vector paths instead of pixels. Logos, monograms, and flat artwork exported from Illustrator, Inkscape, or Canva usually produce cleaner stitch previews because edges stay sharp.

StitchConvert accepts SVG uploads and maps each fill region to a thread color you choose before generating PES and DST files.

SVG to PES and DST workflow

Export SVG with text converted to outlines and effects flattened. Hidden layers and clipping masks can add unexpected shapes, so clean the file before export.

Upload to StitchConvert, select your hoop size, and adjust the color mapping to match your thread palette.

Use the free stitch preview to check size, stitch count, and color stops. Pay once to download the ZIP with both .pes and .dst files.

When SVG is not enough

Very complex SVG files with hundreds of tiny paths may produce a busy stitch preview. Simplify the design or merge similar colors in your vector editor first.

Photorealistic or gradient-heavy art rarely converts well from any format. For that level of detail, a professional digitizer may be a better fit.

Compatible machines and software

PES files work with many Brother and compatible home embroidery setups. DST is accepted by virtually all commercial and home machines.

StitchConvert runs in your browser on Windows, Mac, or Chromebook. No digitizing software to install.
