Embroidery digitizing software that runs in your browser
Online embroidery digitizing software: turn JPG, PNG or SVG artwork into DST, PES, JEF, EXP and VP3 stitch files, with a 3D stitch preview. Free to try.
Short answer: Embroidery digitizing software converts artwork into the stitch paths an embroidery machine follows. Prexaya’s embroidery studio digitizes JPG, PNG and SVG artwork with AI, shows the result as a 3D stitch simulation, and exports machine files in DST, PES, JEF, EXP and VP3. It runs in the browser, so there is nothing to install.
Key takeaways
- Upload a logo as JPG, PNG or SVG and get a stitch file for Tajima, Brother, Janome and other machines.
- Preview thread colors and stitch order in a 3D simulation before anything is sewn.
- Open and convert existing DST, PES, JEF, EXP and VP3 files without desktop software.
- The same studio plugs into the Prexaya product configurator, so shoppers can order embroidered products online.
What digitizing does, and why it matters
An embroidery machine cannot read a JPG. It needs a file of needle positions, stitch types, jumps and color stops. Digitizing is the step that turns artwork into that file, and it is usually the slowest, most expensive part of custom embroidery orders.
Prexaya’s AI digitizer reads the shapes and colors in your artwork and creates fill and satin stitches automatically. You check the result in the 3D preview and adjust colors before exporting.
What you get in the studio
- AI digitizing from JPG, PNG and SVG artwork
- Export to DST (Tajima), PES (Brother), JEF (Janome), EXP and VP3
- TrueView 3D thread simulation with stitch playback
- Thread color breakdown and live recoloring
- Standard hoop guides and a millimeter measuring tool
Where it differs from desktop digitizing tools
Desktop packages are built for professional digitizers who work stitch by stitch. Prexaya is built for shops and brands that need a clean stitch file fast, and for stores that want customers to order embroidered products online. Complex designs, small lettering and very detailed logos may still benefit from a digitizer’s review.

How it works
- Upload your artwork. Drop in a JPG, PNG or SVG logo or design.
- Let the AI digitize it. Fill and satin stitches and color stops are generated automatically.
- Check it in 3D. Play back the stitch order and recolor threads in the simulation.
- Export the machine file. Download DST, PES, JEF, EXP or VP3 for your machine.

Frequently asked questions
What is embroidery digitizing software?
It is software that converts artwork into a machine embroidery file: the stitch paths, stitch types and color changes an embroidery machine needs to sew a design.
Which embroidery file formats does Prexaya export?
DST (Tajima), PES (Brother), JEF (Janome), EXP and VP3. The studio can also open these formats to view and convert existing files.
Can I digitize a JPG logo automatically?
Yes. Upload a JPG, PNG or SVG and the AI digitizer creates the stitch file. Check the 3D preview before sewing; small text and fine detail may need simplifying or a digitizer’s review.
Do I need to install anything?
No. The embroidery studio runs in a modern web browser on Windows, Mac and tablets.
Can customers order embroidered products from my store?
Yes. The embroidery studio is part of Prexaya, so it works with the 3D product configurator on Shopify, WooCommerce or a headless store, with flat pricing and 0% commission.
