Learn How It Works
Embroidery digitizing is the process of converting any image — a logo, JPG, or PNG — into a stitch file that an embroidery machine can read and sew. Without digitizing, your machine cannot sew your design. A professional digitizer sets every stitch path, density, underlay, and color sequence by hand so your design sews perfectly on any fabric.
To digitize a logo for embroidery, a human expert opens your artwork in professional software and manually traces every shape into stitch paths. They set fill type, stitch density, underlay, and pull compensation — all the technical settings that make the design sew cleanly on fabric. You cannot do this with a simple online converter.
Learn the full process →Free online tools and auto-digitizing software skip the technical settings that matter — underlay, pull compensation, stitch density. The result looks fine on screen but sews poorly: thread breaks, puckering, blurry edges. Professional hand-digitizing fixes all of this before the file reaches your machine.
Why auto-convert fails →Different machines read different formats. Brother machines use PES, Tajima uses DST, Janome uses JEF. When you order from DST Studio, tell us your machine brand and we deliver the exact format — plus DST as a universal backup. We support 20+ formats including EXP, VP3, HUS, XXX, SEW, and more.

Two core services — both done by hand, both delivered in 2–4 hours. Whether you need to digitize a logo for embroidery or convert artwork to a clean vector file, we handle it professionally from $5.
We convert your logo, JPG, PNG, or any artwork into a machine-ready embroidery file. Our expert digitizers hand-trace every shape — setting stitch type, density, underlay, and color sequence — so your design sews perfectly on caps, polos, jackets, patches, and more. Works with Brother, Tajima, Janome, Melco, Bernina, and all commercial machines.
Need your logo as a clean vector file? We hand-trace your JPG or PNG logo into a scalable SVG, AI, EPS, or PDF vector file — pixel-perfect at any size. Ideal for printing, signage, embroidery prep, and brand use. No auto-tracing software — every path is drawn by hand for clean, professional results.
Pricing
Per-design pricing — no subscriptions, no hidden fees. Price is based on design complexity (stitch count). Not sure which tier? Send us your artwork and we'll quote you free.
How is embroidery digitizing pricing determined?
Embroidery digitizing price depends on stitch count — the total number of stitches in your finished design. A simple text logo might have 3,000 stitches ($5). A detailed company crest with gradients and fine detail might have 30,000+ stitches ($15). We always confirm the tier before starting — no surprises.
Simple Design
Text, basic shapes, simple logos with few colors.
e.g. text-only logo, monogram, simple icon
Standard Design
Most logos, artwork, and multi-color illustrations.
e.g. company logo, sports team badge, patch
Complex Design
Detailed artwork, photorealistic, or very large designs.
e.g. detailed crest, jacket back, photo-style art

Print & Stitch, Bisbee AZ (Retired)
"I used Felix for over 10 years. One of the very best and fastest turnaround times in the business. If I had an issue with anything, I would take a picture and send to him, and within a very short time, he would make the change/s and send it back pretty quick. His prices are so reasonable. I highly recommend him and would not go anywhere else."
