Photo Digitization

JPG to DST Converter: Digitize Your Photos Online

Turn your favorite memories or photographic logos into stitchable art. Our JPG to DST Converter is optimized to handle complex color gradients and shading found in photographs.

Unlike simple vectors, photos require "Photo Stitch" techniques. We simplify this process, automatically mapping pixel colors to standard thread palettes and adjusting stitch density to prevent fabric bunching.

Vector Precision

Convert AI to DST: Vector to Embroidery

Professional designers prefer vector files (Adobe Illustrator) for their infinite scalability and clean lines. Our AI to DST converter taps into this mathematical precision to create the sharpest possible embroidery.

Unlike raster images where pixels can become blurry when resized, converting from AI allows us to calculate stitch paths directly from the vector nodes. The result is crisp text, perfectly circular curves, and cleaner satin stitches.

Lossless Scaling

Resize without quality loss before converting.

Clean Curves

Bezier paths translate to smooth satin stitches.

PDF to DST Converter: Logo Digitizing Tool

Corporate brand guidelines often live in PDF format. Our PDF to DST Converter is the essential tool for uniform providers and promotional product companies. We extract vector data directly from PDF files to ensure your logo is digitized 100% accurately.

Forget about recreating logos from pixelated screenshots. Upload your client's vector PDF, and get a crisp, clean embroidery file ready for production runs on shirts, caps, and jackets.

Vector Extraction

Intelligently identifies and isolates logo paths from document text.

Color Separation

Automatically assigns stop commands for multi-color logos.

SVG to DST Converter: Scalable Vector to Stitch

Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) are the web standard for sharp illustrations. Our SVG to DST Converter allows you to resize your design to any dimension—from a pocket logo to a full jacket back—without ever seeing a pixel.

Because SVGs are defined by math, not pixels, we can generate the perfect stitch density for any size. You get cleaner edges, sharper text, and professional-grade embroidery files that look great at any scale.

Any Size

Scale up without blur.

Clean Code

Flawless path interpretation.
