Image to EXP: High Quality Digitizing for Melco & Bernina
EXP files are purely coordinate-based (vectors of movement). We optimize these movements to ensure your machine head travels smoothly, reducing vibration and thread wear.
Standard Pathing
Random jumps across the design. Slower, noisier.
Auto-Optimized EXP
Shortest path calculation. Faster stitching.
Online PNG to EXP Tool for EXP Embroidery Format
The EXP format is unique because it often doesn't store thread colors directly, relying on the user to set them at the machine. Our tool generates standard stops (commands to pause) so you can swap spools easily.
How to Use PNG to EXP Converter for Best Results?
Define Hoops
Bernina machines have specific hoop limits (e.g., Oval Hoop). Resize your PNG so the final stitch area fits inside.
Plan Thread Swaps
Since EXP files pause for color changes, group your design colors so you don't have to swap threads 50 times.
Avoid Tiny Details
Details smaller than 2mm may not stitch cleanly. Thicken lines and text for better legibility.
Use USB
Most EXP machines read from USB sticks. Ensure your stick is formatted to FAT32 for older Melco/Bernina models.
