To get started
Automatic

Auto-digitize any artwork

Upload a PNG, JPG, or SVG and Stichii's image-analysis engine detects edges, colour regions, and centerlines — generating fully-editable embroidery objects mapped to the right stitch type. What used to take hours takes seconds.

  • Automatic shape and edge detection
  • Color region segmentation
  • Centerline extraction for run stitches
  • Full parameter control after import

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 for makers, not enterprises

Stichii is made by one independent developer — so it stays simple, honestly priced, and genuinely useful.

Runs anywhere

No install, no Windows-only software. Open a browser on your laptop, Surface, or iPad and start.

Honest pricing

A real free plan, then $4 / $19 / $49 a month. No four-figure licences, no annual upgrade fees.

Auto-digitize on every plan

Turn artwork into editable stitches automatically — not locked behind the top tier.

Real, validated machine files

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

A community to learn from

Browse, open, and remix designs other stitchers share — with clear licences and credit.

Your work stays yours

Private designs stay private. We never sell your data, and your free-plan work lives in your browser.

Community library

Share, discover, and remix designs

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 — find a design in seconds.

Open & remix

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

Save your favourites

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

Publish with a licence

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

Plus 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, and VP3 files as editable stitch paths, then re-parameterize and re-export.

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.

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.
