Smart Auto-Digitizing

Upload a vector SVG, or trace a PNG/JPG to SVG with the built-in tool, sized for left chest, back, cap and sleeve. The engine turns it into real stitches, automatically choosing satin for strokes and tatami fill for solid areas, with crisp edges and no loose thread.

🎨

Thread Colour Detection & Brand Matching

Every colour in your artwork is detected, split into its own thread group and sewn colour by colour, so the machine changes thread cleanly. In the classic converter, pick your thread brand and Embify suggests the nearest spool for each colour from Madeira Polyneon 40, Isacord 40, Gunold Poly 40, Robison-Anton Super Brite Poly or Marathon Polyester, or only from the spools you own. Colours on screen are approximate, so check a real spool before you buy.

Realistic Stitch Preview

See your design as real stitches, with a flat coverage view and a realistic thread look, before you commit a single thread. The classic converter can also play back the exact sew order, every stitch, jump and cut. Embify also tells you whether a design will sew cleanly at your chosen size, and resizes it in one click if it won't.

✨

Optimised, Clean Sew-Outs

Behind the scenes it minimises needle jumps and thread cuts, balances stitch density, and weaves connectors under the fill to avoid stray threads, so designs run faster on the machine, with fewer breaks and a cleaner finish. Its targets for jumps, trims, density and stitch length come from 80 professionally digitized production files.

✏️

Edit Any Part in Your Browser

Tweak the result without extra software. Recolour, resize, rotate or hide any part of the design, add your own lettering in embroidery fonts, and let Embify auto-clean scanned small text into crisp typed satin. Changed your mind? Undo and redo are a click away.

Design it. See the stitches. Then export.

Place shapes, text and artwork on a board that matches your real hoop or garment size. Real stitches are drawn under your design, so you can see what the machine will sew before you export.

  • ✓ Shapes, text and artwork on a real-size board
  • ✓ Real stitches drawn under your design
  • ✓ A Check before you export machine files

Where auto-digitizing works, and where it doesn't

Works well
  • ✓ Logos, badges and crests in flat, solid colours
  • ✓ Block-capital lettering from 4.5 mm tall, lowercase and serif from about 6 mm, script from about 8 mm
  • ✓ Left chest, cap, sleeve and back placements on polos, fleeces and workwear
Not the right tool
  • × Photographs, soft gradients and shading
  • × Extreme 3D puff
  • × Taglines and web addresses under 4.5 mm tall, which get flagged so you can enlarge or drop them before you pay

Embify tells you whether a design will sew cleanly at your chosen size before you download. As with any digitized file, sew one sample before a big run. Which artwork works best →

Common questions

Everything you need to know before you start.

What is Embify?

Embify is an online auto-digitizing tool that converts a logo or artwork (PNG, JPG or SVG) into a machine-ready embroidery file, DST, PES, JEF, EXP, XXX or VP3. You get a realistic 3D sew-out preview before downloading, with no embroidery software or manual digitizing skill needed.

How do I turn a logo into an embroidery file?

Upload your logo (PNG, JPG or SVG), set the finished size, check the sew-out preview, then download in your machine's format, DST, PES, JEF, EXP, XXX or VP3. Embify digitizes the artwork into stitches for you, so you don't need embroidery software or hand-digitizing skills. See the step-by-step guide.

Is Embify free to try?

Yes. You can upload your artwork, digitize it and inspect the full realistic 3D sew-out for free, with no credit card required, so you can see exactly how it will stitch before you decide. Downloading the machine file costs £5 as a one-off, or is included in a monthly plan.

What embroidery file formats can I export?

Embify exports PES, DST, JEF, EXP, XXX and VP3, covering Brother, Baby Lock, Janome, Tajima, Bernina, Melco, Pfaff, Husqvarna Viking, Singer and most other machines.

Do I need to install any software?

No. Embify runs entirely in your web browser. Upload a logo, preview the sew-out and download your file, with nothing to install.

Will my logo work for embroidery?

Bold, flat designs with a few solid colours work best. Photographs, heavy gradients and very fine detail are hard to reproduce in thread. Embify shows a sew-out preview so you can check before you download. See our artwork guide.

How much does Embify cost?

Digitizing and previewing your design is free. Downloading the machine file is £5 as a one-off with no subscription, or plans start at £29/month for 10 conversions if you convert regularly. Plans carry a 14-day money-back guarantee if you haven't downloaded any files.

What is the Embify studio?

The Embify studio is a design canvas in your browser. Place shapes, text and artwork on a board that matches your real hoop or garment size, see real stitches drawn under your design, then check and export machine files. It is free to try, and a free account shows the stitches. See what the studio does.

Can I edit my design before I download it?

Yes. In the studio you can move, resize and rotate anything, change the colour of shapes and text, and add text, shapes or more artwork. The stitches update as you edit, and a Check runs before you export. Downloading the machine file is paid, as a one-off or inside a plan.
