DumbStitchOpen DumbStitchTurn a picture into an embroidery file
Auto digitizing turns a picture into stitches without you placing each one by hand. DumbStitch does this for free, in your browser.
How to do it
- Open DumbStitch and pick A picture.
- Choose what it's going on (for example a left chest logo) and confirm your hoop.
- Add your PNG or JPG. DumbStitch sizes it to the hoop.
- Check the thread colors, then watch it stitch on screen.
- Save the file for your machine: PES, JEF, EXP or DST.
Pictures that stitch well
- Logos, clip art, cartoons and icons with a few flat colors.
- Clear shapes with clean edges. A PNG with a transparent background is ideal.
- Not too many tiny details. Lines thinner than about 1 mm are hard to stitch at any size.
Photos can be digitized, but they get reduced to a handful of thread colors, so they look more like a poster than a photo.
Fill or satin?
Wide areas stitch as fill and narrow shapes as satin. You can switch a design to all fill or all satin, change the stitch density, and choose to trim the thread on every jump.
Questions
What image types can I use?
PNG, JPG, and most other image types your browser can open.
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No. The picture is processed on your own device and never sent to a server.
Can I change the thread colors?
Yes. Pick from Brother embroidery thread colors, or tell DumbStitch which threads you own and it will use the closest ones.
