Embroidery digitizing · in your browser

Picture in.
Stitches out.

Drop in a logo or a drawing. Stichii reads it the way a digitizer would — satin where it's narrow, fill where it's wide, real thread colours — and hands you a file your machine opens. Change as much or as little as you like.

How it works

Three steps. One of them is yours.

You bring the picture and press export. Stichii does the part in the middle — the part that used to take an afternoon and a $1,000 licence.

01

Drop in your artwork

A logo, a drawing, a photo of a patch — PNG, JPG or SVG. Already have a PES or DST? Open that instead and edit it.

02

Stichii digitizes it

Narrow shapes become satin, wide ones fill, lines run. Every colour is matched to a real spool. Edit as much or as little as you like.

03
.PES

Export for your machine

PES, DST, JEF, EXP, VP3 and more — with a worksheet listing threads in order. Load the hoop and sew.

Read the step-by-step guide
01 — Automatic

Auto-digitize any artwork

Upload a PNG, JPG, or SVG and Stichii's perceptual engine reads your artwork the way your eye does — CIEDE2000 colour science, keyline-aware satin detection, drop-shadow rejection — and generates fully-editable embroidery objects matched to real, purchasable thread colours. What used to take hours takes seconds.

  • Perceptual (LAB) colour separation — no more navy-turns-purple
  • Keylines and lettering become clean satin, not ragged fill
  • Matches to real Madeira & Isacord threads with order codes
  • Every element of your artwork is stitched — nothing dropped

02 — Smart Tools

Magic Wand tools that understand context

Click any color region to create a fill object. Click a narrow column and Stichii switches to satin automatically. Trace a line and it becomes a run path. The tools understand the geometry so you don't have to think about it.

  • Region fill detection
  • Auto-satin for columns under 8mm
  • Line art to run path conversion
  • Stitch type recommendation engine

Why Stichii

Built by one person who sews.

No sales team, no four-figure licence, no Windows-only installer. It stays simple because there's nobody to make it complicated.

Runs anywhere

Laptop, Surface, iPad. Open a browser and you’re digitizing.

Honest pricing

A real free plan, then $4 / $19 / $49 a month. No upgrade fees.

Auto-digitize on every plan

Artwork to editable stitches on the free tier, not just the top one.

Files your machine trusts

PES, DST, JEF, EXP, VP3 and more, each verified against the reference library.

A library to learn from

Open and remix designs other makers share, with clear licences and credit.

Your work stays yours

Private designs stay private. We never sell your data.

Community library

Share, discover, remix.

A public, searchable library of designs makers have shared. Browsing is free for everyone — no account needed.

Browse & search

Full-text search, tag/format/hoop filters, a Featured rail, and trending.

Open & remix

Open any design and it forks a private copy into your editor. The original is never touched.

Save favourites

Bookmark designs to come back to — saving is always free.

Publish with a licence

On a paid plan, share your own under a licence you choose. Remixes credit the maker.

And the rest

Everything you need to finish a design.

Community library

Browse, search, and open designs shared by other stitchers — fork any one into your own editor in a click.

Import existing files

Open PES, DST, JEF, EXP, VP3, HUS, SHV, XXX, PEC and U01 files, convert the stitches back into editable satin, run and fill objects, then re-export — the geometry round-trips exactly.

Stitch-out preview

Watch the design stitch in order, color by color, before you ever load a hoop.

Design validation

Automatic checks flag density, tiny stitches, and out-of-hoop objects before you export — most come with a one-click fix.

Print worksheets

Generate a thread-and-sequence worksheet to keep at the machine.

Machine profiles

Hoop sizes and format support for Brother, Tajima, Janome, Melco, Pfaff, Bernina and multi-needle machines.

Real thread charts

Match to genuine Madeira Classic Rayon 40 and Isacord Polyester 40 colours — with the actual order codes, so you buy the exact spool you previewed.

Pro-grade fills and sequencing

Curved fills that follow one drawn guide or morph between two, flexi split lines, start and exit points, machine-order connectors and pauses — the controls a Wilcom or Hatch digitizer expects.

Batch lettering and hand-off

Team Names turns one design and a roster into a ZIP of personalised files with a run sheet; export every format at once, in mm or inches.

Pricing

Pay for what you sew.

Start free. Upgrade when the free exports run out, not before.
