Recommended workflow

01

Upload your embroidery file

Start from a supported stitch or design file such as PES, DST, JEF, VP3, or EXP. The source file quality determines how accurate the preview will be.

02

Render a preview image

StitchPilot.ai generates a visual representation of the stitch structure. The preview shows color zones, approximate scale, and design layout.

03

Review before sharing

Check the rendered preview for obvious errors, unexpected color zones, or scale issues. A preview is useful for communication but not a substitute for a test stitch.

04

Download and share

Export the preview as PNG, JPG, or SVG and send it to clients, store it with the order, or use it as a product listing image. Keep the original embroidery file for future use.

Quality & privacy

Review before production

Embroidery involves physical variables that software cannot fully predict. StitchPilot.ai assists with AI-driven conversion and preview generation — the final stitched result also depends on fabric, stabilizer, needle, thread, hoop size, and machine settings.

  • Always perform a test stitch on production-critical work
  • Uploaded files are processed to generate output only
  • Contact support@stitchpilot.ai for help with file issues
  • Keep your original artwork for future revisions

JEF to PNG — common questions

What is the purpose of the JEF to PNG workflow?

This page helps users understand the JEF to PNG workflow in StitchPilot.ai and choose the right next step — whether generating a preview image, inspecting a Janome file, or routing to production.

Do I still need to review the result before stitching?

Yes. AI conversion, preview export, and file viewing are workflow aids. Review scale, fabric, thread assumptions, density, and machine constraints before production. A preview does not replace a physical test stitch.

Can a preview image replace a production test stitch?

No. A preview is useful for communication and quality checks, but a physical test stitch is still recommended for important production runs. Fabric, stabilizer, and machine settings all affect the final result.

Which embroidery format should I choose?

Choose the format requested by your machine, software, vendor, or production partner. When in doubt, keep the original artwork and ask the recipient which format they require.

Who can I contact if the workflow does not behave as expected?

Contact support@stitchpilot.ai with the route, file type, browser, and a short description of the issue so the support team can investigate.
