About SVG files
SVG is a vector format whose shapes stay perfectly sharp at any size. SVG artwork is rasterized at high resolution before digitizing, so every colour region has razor-sharp edges — ideal for logos, monograms, and any design with flat colours and clean outlines.
Tip: Flatten text to outlines before exporting the SVG so custom fonts render exactly as designed.
About the PES format
PES (Brother embroidery format) is read by Brother PE800, SE600/SE700, Innov-ís and Luminaire series machines, and Baby Lock machines. The format embeds a PEC colour block using the 64-colour Brother thread palette. Copy the .pes file to a USB stick and open it from the machine's Embroidery menu.

How do I convert a SVG to PES?

Is SVG better than PNG for embroidery conversion?
For logos and flat-colour artwork, yes — vectors rasterize with perfectly crisp edges and no compression noise, which gives the stitch tracer the cleanest possible colour regions. For photos or scanned art, PNG or JPG is the right choice.
