Embroidery file tool
PES/DST Embroidery Viewer
Open machine embroidery files online, inspect stitches, colors and dimensions, replay the sewing order, and export PNG or SVG.
Before viewing an embroidery design
Use the preview to inspect a PES or DST design, but keep the original file and verify it in the target embroidery workflow before stitching.
- Keep the source PES or DST design and its original thread information.
- Check dimensions, stitch count, colors, trims, and the previewed design area.
- Test on an appropriate sample fabric when production accuracy matters.
The uploaded design and preview are handled temporarily on the server. Download any reviewed output promptly and do not use the service as design storage.

FAQ
What is the difference between PES and DST?
PES commonly stores Brother/Baby Lock design data and can include thread colors. DST is a widely supported Tajima stitch format but normally does not preserve a reliable color palette.
Can this convert a photo into PES or DST?
No. Turning artwork into a production-ready embroidery file requires digitizing decisions such as stitch type, density, underlay and pull compensation.
Why do DST colors look different?
DST files generally contain color-change commands but not exact thread colors, so the viewer assigns a stable preview palette that you can adjust on screen.
Are jump stitches shown as sewn lines?
No. Jump and trim commands are counted, but only needle-down stitch paths are drawn.
