v1.6.0

EMB view-only

1. Upload logo

Drop image here or click to browse

PNG/JPEG with clear shapes works best. White/transparent background preferred.

2. Item & fabric

3. Size

Leave width or height blank/0 to auto-size from the image aspect ratio. Aspect lock is on by default — editing one side updates the other when both are set.

Preview & files

Stitch preview appears here after digitize.

Honest limits (MVP)

  • Auto-digitizing from raster — not a Wilcom/Pulse replacement.
  • Best on high-contrast logos; photos and tiny text will be rough.
  • Use Remove background or Vectorize first on busy images.
  • Writes DST, EXP, PES, JEF. Does not write Wilcom .EMB.

1. Upload image

Drop image here or click to browse

Works best on logos with a solid or near-white exterior background.

2. Controls

Tolerance (strength)
32 — higher knocks out more
Edge feather
2 px soft edge (0 = hard)

Keeps knocking out white (or bg-color) notches inside letters, not only the outer background.

Palette colors
Detect 2–8 dominant colors after Apply (and on upload)

Result

Transparent PNG preview appears here after Apply.

Checkerboard shows transparency. Download keeps alpha for use elsewhere.

1. Upload image

Prefer a cleaned / transparent-BG logo for cleaner vectors.

2. Controls

Simplify
1 — higher = fewer path points

Result

Flat vector preview appears here after Apply.

Use for digitize sends the flat PNG raster (not SVG) — the digitizer reads images.
