About Image to Embroidery Converter

Welcome to the most advanced free online tool for converting standard images (JPG, PNG) into professional embroidery files (.DST). Whether you're a hobbyist with a home embroidery machine or a professional digitizer looking for a quick starting point, our tool simplifies the complex process of digitization.

How It Works

Our tool uses client-side processing to analyze your image's pixels and map them to standard embroidery thread colors. It then generates a "stitch map" where each pixel represents a cross-stitch or tatami fill unit. Finally, it compiles these instructions into a binary .DST file (Tajima format), which is compatible with almost all commercial and home embroidery machines (Brother, Janome, Singer, Bernina, etc.).

Key Features

  • Instant Conversion: No waiting for email results. Everything happens in your browser.
  • Privacy First: Your images never leave your device. Processing is 100% client-side.
  • Customizable: Adjust the size and number of colors to fit your hoop and thread collection.
  • Smart Color Matching: Automatically maps your image colors to a standard embroidery palette.

Tips for Best Results

  • Use images with clear, bold shapes and high contrast (logos, cartoons, icons).
  • Avoid photographs with too much detail or gradients, as they don't translate well to embroidery without manual editing.
  • Start with a lower number of colors (4-8) for cleaner results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this tool really free? +
Yes, this tool is 100% free to use with no hidden costs or subscription fees.
What machines support .DST files? +
DST (Tajima) is the industry standard format. It is supported by almost all embroidery machines including Brother, Janome, Singer, Bernina, Pfaff, and Husqvarna Viking (often via conversion or direct import).
Can I convert photos? +
Yes, but results vary. Embroidery is a low-resolution medium. For photos, try reducing the color count and using the "Dithering" option for a better artistic effect.
