Quick facts

Upload your SVG to Embify, check the free sew-out preview, pick Happy and download. An SVG is the best file to start from, because its shapes are exact, and you get a TAP and a DST of the design.

Price

Upload and preview the sew-out free, with no card. A machine file costs £5 to download, and new sizes or formats of that design are free for 30 days. Monthly plans start at £29 for 20 files.

Machines

Happy (Happy Japan) commercial machines, which also read DST.

Colours in the file

TAP stores the stitches and colour stops, like DST, so you set the thread colours on your machine from the colour sheet.

Speed

Most logos are ready in under a minute (live site measurements, September 2026).

Upload

PNG, JPG or SVG, up to 10 MB.

Best input

An SVG with filled shapes, text turned into outlines.

Why an SVG is the best start

An SVG stores your logo as exact shapes, not dots, so the edges stay crisp at any size. It's the best file you can start from: if your designer can send one, ask for it.

A real SVG to TAP conversion

One of Embify's sample logos, before conversion — One of our sample logos, converted by Embify at 90 mm wide: 17,311 stitches and 3 thread colours, counted from the real file.

Getting the SVG ready

Turn text into outlines before you save, so your letters keep their font.
Crop the artboard to the logo, so the size comes out right.
Check it's really vector. Zoom right in: if the edges go fuzzy, there's a picture inside the SVG.

A shop with more than one brand

A TAP and a DST hold the same stitch data, and DST is what most commercial machines read, current Happy models included. So the DST in your download also suits a Tajima, Barudan, SWF or ZSK, and one £5 download covers every machine in the shop. See SVG to DST.

SVG to TAP. FAQs

Can I convert an SVG to TAP?

Yes. Upload the SVG to Embify, check the sew-out preview, pick Happy as your machine and download.

Is a TAP the same as a DST?

It holds the same stitch data as a DST, without the DST's header. Current Happy machines read both; TAP is Happy's own format.

Is the SVG to TAP converter free?

The preview is free: digitizing your artwork and seeing the sew-out needs no card. Downloading the finished file is £5 as a one-off, or a monthly plan if you convert regularly.
