Recommended workflow

01

Upload your artwork

Start with a clean PNG, JPG, SVG, WebP, or logo file. Avoid low-contrast edges, busy backgrounds, or tiny screenshots — clean artwork produces the most predictable stitch result.

02

AI interprets stitch regions

StitchPilot.ai analyzes shapes, colors, and likely fill areas, then recommends size, color count, and quality settings. AI output should still be reviewed before production.

03

Preview before download

Check scale, major color zones, and object separation before committing. A visual preview catches issues earlier than a machine run and saves time on test stitches.

04

Export for your machine

Download the file and keep the original source artwork. Different machines and software ecosystems may require different formats — keeping source artwork allows future re-exports.

About DST

A production-focused embroidery format

DST is a compact stitch command format commonly associated with Tajima-style commercial embroidery workflows. It focuses on stitch data rather than a full editable artwork document, making it well-suited for high-volume production environments.

  • Widely supported by commercial embroidery machines
  • Stores stitch commands, jump stitches, and color stops
  • Compact format efficient for production file transfer
  • Compatible with most embroidery digitizing software

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

JPG to DST — common questions

What is the purpose of the JPG to DST workflow?

This page helps users understand the JPG to DST workflow in StitchPilot.ai and choose the right next step before uploading artwork or sharing a file.

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.
