Image to Embroidery Converter Online – Free DST File Generator

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.
