FAQ
1Does StitchPeek upload my designs?
No. Viewing, PNG export, conversion, and SVG / text digitize all run locally in your browser. Designs are not uploaded to our servers.
2Which embroidery formats are supported?
DST, PES, PEC, JEF, EXP, PCS, and XXX. Open the viewer to preview; convert between these formats as needed.
3Will converted files always sew correctly?
We preserve stitch paths as much as possible, but machines differ. Always test-sew before production. DST is a solid exchange format.
4What is text-to-design good for?
Simple lettering, names, and short copy. Pick a font, digitize outlines into stitches, then export. Complex lettering works better as SVG first.
5What are the limits of SVG digitize?
Common paths and basic shapes are supported. Complex gradients and filters are not. Cleaner outlines digitize more reliably.
6Can I use this commercially?
The tools are free to use. Ensure you have rights to the designs and fonts you open, and follow font licenses and local law. This is not legal advice.
7Do I need to install software or sign up?
No. Use a modern browser — no desktop install and no account required for the core tools.
