About WebP files
WebP is the modern web image format with transparency and strong compression. WebP supports transparency like PNG, so graphics saved straight from the web convert directly — transparent pixels are treated as background and stripped automatically.
Tip: Right-click-saved web graphics are often WebP already; upload them as-is, no need to convert to PNG first.
About the SEW format
SEW (Janome SEW format) is read by older Janome and Elna machines (Memory Craft 8000/9000 era) and some Bernina models. The format stores thread colours as Janome palette indices, like JEF. Copy the file to the memory card or USB medium your machine reads.

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert a WebP to SEW?
Upload the WebP on this page — SewFlow digitizes it automatically (colour detection, background removal, stitch generation) and shows a free preview. Pick your size, then download the SEW file ready for older Janome, Elna & Bernina machines.
Can I upload a WebP image saved from a website?
Yes — WebP uploads work directly, including transparent WebP. Keep in mind that web images can be small; artwork at 500px or larger on its shortest side gives the digitizer more edge detail to work with.
