Why use our converter

SVG to PES — built for embroiderers

Zero signup required

Your SVG file converts to PES without creating an account. No email, no credit card — just upload and download.

Brother, Babylock, Bernina compatible

Every output is validated against Brother PES spec for maximum compatibility with Brother, Babylock, Bernina machines.

Transparency preserved

Alpha-channel data in your SVG is used as a no-stitch boundary, so transparent areas stay clean in the final embroidery.

Underlay & pull compensation

Our AI engine adds underlay stitches and pull compensation automatically, reducing puckering and improving fabric stability on all stitch types.

Industrial stitch density

Stitch density, satin column width, and fill angles are optimized for professional PES output — no manual parameter tuning needed.

Private & secure

Uploaded files are processed in an isolated sandbox and permanently deleted after conversion. We never store or share your artwork.

What is the .PES format?

The Brother PES format is the most popular home-machine format, storing both stitch paths and full thread-color data for easy on-screen preview. It stores full thread color data stored in file, and is natively read by Brother, Babylock, Bernina machines.

When you convert a SVG image to PES, every stitch path, fill area, and satin column is encoded in the Brother PES specification — ready to load directly onto your machine with no additional software.

Tips for better SVG → PES results

Use clean vector paths — avoid rasterized SVG elements
Transparent areas will become no-stitch zones — use them to shape your design
Limit colors to 6–12 for cleaner thread separation
Simple, bold shapes produce better stitch quality than fine gradients
For best results on Brother, Babylock, Bernina machines, test at 100 % zoom in your machine software before production
