Auto-digitize
Auto-digitizing turns a picture into a stitch file. Upload a PNG, JPG, or SVG and Stichii traces it into editable fill, satin, and run objects you can refine, then export to PES, DST, JEF, EXP, or VP3 — all in the browser.
Stichii analyzes your artwork, detects separate color regions — including disconnected blobs of the same color — and emits a hole-aware fill for each one. It classifies strokes as run, satin, or fill by width, fits Bézier curves to edges, and lays down a sectioned tatami fill that jumps only between disconnected sections instead of dragging a long stitch across the design.
You get a genuine first pass in seconds. From there the editor is built for cleanup: change a fill to satin, adjust the angle, tune density and underlay, fix the color order, and watch the live stitch preview update.
Auto-digitize is excellent on clean, high-contrast artwork — logos, simple icons, bold lettering. Detailed photographs are harder: no auto-digitizer turns a photo into a flawless stitch-out untouched, and any tool that claims otherwise is overselling. The honest workflow is auto-digitize for the first pass, then refine in the editor. Stichii is built to make that refinement fast.
Every file Stichii writes is validated against pyembroidery — the same reference library used by Ink/Stitch and other open-source embroidery tools — so the stitches, jumps, trims, and color stops land where your machine expects them.
Stichii runs entirely in your browser. There is nothing to install, no Windows-only desktop suite, and no four-figure license. Open it on a laptop, a Surface, or an iPad next to the machine and start working immediately.
You can start for free. Open the editor, digitize a design, and preview the stitch path before you commit to anything. Paid plans add more exports and higher limits — see pricing for the details.
