Hi everyone 👋I built this because converting embroidery machine files is still surprisingly painful. Most tools are old desktop software or clunky sites that convert your file blindly — and half the time the thread colors get messed up or you have no idea what you're actually getting until you load it on the machine.So I made a simple browser-based converter for the common formats — DST, PES, JEF, EXP and VP3. A few things I focused on:
Live stitch preview — you see the actual design and stitch paths before and after converting, not just a filename.
Editable thread palette — change and check colors right in the browser.
No sign-up, runs in your browser — just drop a file and go.
One honest note: this converts between embroidery formats (repacking existing stitch data). It does not turn images into stitches (digitizing) — that's a whole different beast and out of scope on purpose.It's an early version, so I'd genuinely love feedback from people who work with these files: Which format pairs do you convert most often? What breaks for you in other converters? Anything you wish these tools did?Thanks for taking a look 🙏
honestly this looks really handy, been looking for something simple like this for ages. one thing though, it would be awesome if you could batch convert like a whole folder of files at once instead of doing them one by one, saves a ton of time especially when dealing with older collections
The thread palette editor is a really thoughtful touch, especially being able to see how colors map between formats before committing. Makes swapping between my PES files and shop's DSTs way less of a guessing game.
Finally a converter that handles VP3 properly without mangling the colors. The stitch preview saved me from sending a bad file to my machine, nice touch.
honestly the stitch preview is super helpful, saved me from messing up a PES file before sending it to my machine
