Crisp source edges for clean tracing
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. SewFlow does not preserve SVG vectors in the output; it rasterizes the artwork at high resolution before tracing stitch regions.
SVG preparation tips
- Flatten text to outlines before exporting the SVG so custom fonts render exactly as designed.
- Convert custom text to outlines so the intended letter shapes survive rasterization.
- Simplify gradients, shadows, and details that are smaller than the intended stitch size.
- Check the live preview for unwanted background regions before saving.
Frequently asked questions
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.
Can I turn SVG into PES, JEF, or DST?
Yes. Upload the SVG, then select PES, JEF, DST, EXP, XXX, or SEW from the format controls.
Does SVG preserve every image detail?
No image format can preserve every pixel in embroidery. The artwork is simplified into stitchable thread-colour regions and tiny machine-unsafe details are removed.
Is SVG conversion free?
Creating, previewing, and saving the design is free. Downloading the machine file requires a paid plan or bonus credit.
