Custom Typography Service

Embroidery Font Generator | PNG to DST

Stop wasting time with keyboard fonts that have awkward gaps and jumps. Get your exact custom font (TTF/OTF) manually digitized for professional results.

Bad Kerning

Auto-generators treat every letter as a separate block. They don't understand that an "A" needs to tuck under a "V". This results in awkward gaps and amateur-looking text.

Seamless Flow

We manually adjust the spacing (kerning) between every single letter pair. We also route "run stitches" between letters so the machine never has to trim, speeding up your production.

Any Font Style

Generators limit you to 10 stock fonts. We can digitize any font you own—Script, Serif, Display, or even your own handwriting from a photo.

Our embroidery font generator transforms your TTF/OTF files into machine-ready stitches with perfect kerning.

Technical Guide

Embroidery Font Generator: Expert Guide

Font Generators (Keyboard Fonts) are pre-digitized alphabets mapped to keys. While convenient, they lack context. An "A" is always the same "A", regardless of whether it's next to a "W" or "L", leading to poor spacing.

Custom Digitizing treats the entire word as a single artistic object. This allows us to adjust Pull Compensation based on the stroke width of specific letters, ensuring the text remains bold and readable on fabric.

The "Small Text" Challenge

  • Satin vs. Run Stitch: Standard satin columns fail under 4mm. We switch to "center-run" or "bean stitch" for tiny letters.
  • Opening Gaps: Loops in "e" and "a" tend to close up. We manually open these gaps to keep text legible.
  • Underlay: Essential for stabilizing the fabric before the top stitch is applied, preventing shifting.

Embroidery Font Generator: Manual Kerning Done Right

Unlike instant font converters, our embroidery font generator manually adjusts every single letter pair (kerning) to create a balanced, professional look.

  • Push & Pull Compensation

    We widen columns so letters don't look skinny when stitched.

  • Nearest Point Connection

    We link letters so the machine doesn't have to trim between them.

  • Curve Optimization

    Smooth satin stitches that follow the contour of serifs and swirls.

Embroidery Font Generator FAQ

Common questions about our embroidery font generator service.

Contact Support
Yes. Text smaller than 5mm is difficult for satin stitches. We use a special 'center-run' or 'bean stitch' technique to make text legible even at 3mm height, which most auto-generators cannot handle.
Absolutely. If you know the name of the font used in your logo (or send us the TTF file), we can replicate it perfectly in embroidery, keeping your branding consistent.
Yes, upon request. BX files are special mapped fonts used in Embrilliance software that allow you to type the letters on your keyboard. We can map your custom alphabet into a BX file (see pricing).
Sans-serif fonts with even stroke width (like Arial or Helvetica) are the easiest to embroider cleanly. High-contrast fonts (like Bodoni) or textured grunge fonts are more difficult and may require simplifications.
Hats are curved and have a seam. If the digitizing doesn't account for 'push-pull' on the curve, the text will distort or sink into the seam. We digitize specifically for hats by sequencing the lettering from the center outwards.
