About the Image, Logo & Photo to Embroidery Converter

How it works

SewFlow analyses your uploaded PNG, JPEG, SVG, BMP, GIF, WebP, or TIFF image, quantizes the colours to the nearest thread-palette entries, and traces each colour region into a dense satin-stitch fill. Tiny, machine-unsafe stitches are filtered out automatically, so the result is a clean, machine-ready embroidery file you can transfer straight to your machine — no embroidery software required.

Supported formats

JEF — Janome & Elna
PES — Brother & Baby Lock
DST — Tajima & universal industrial
EXP — Melco & Bernina
XXX — Singer & Compucon
SEW — older Janome / Elna / Bernina

Tips for best results

Use images with clean, high-contrast edges
Logos and clip-art convert better than photographs
Remove the background before converting for cleaner results
Limit to 6–8 colours to reduce thread changes
Set design width to 80–120 mm for standard 4″×4″ hoops
