Converting an image to a PES file is an essential step in preparing artwork for embroidery machines. PES is a popular file format used by Brother and Babylock embroidery machines, and it contains stitching instructions based on your design. To convert image to PES file, the image must first be digitized—this means translating it into a stitch-ready format that your machine understands. Manual digitizing ensures better accuracy, especially for detailed logos or complex artwork.
