Can you convert any image to embroidery?

Yes, we can work with almost any image file (JPG, PNG, PDF, TIFF, BMP). While higher resolution is better, our artists are skilled at reconstructing even low-quality logos.

Why can't I just print my logo on fabric instead of embroidery?

Embroidery uses thread to stitch the design into the fabric, making it more durable, premium, and longer-lasting than printing. It requires specialized digitizing to work on machines.

Do I need a vector file (AI/EPS) to get started with embroidery conversion?

No, a vector file is not required. We can work from standard JPEG or PNG images. Our team redraws the design manually during the digitizing process.

Will my embroidered logo look exactly like my image?

It will be very close. We optimize every design for physical embroidery results, which may involve minor simplifications to very tiny text (under 4mm) to ensure clean stitching.

What happens if I need to resize my embroidery design later?

Embroidery files are not easily resizable. Scaling more than 10-20% can cause density issues. We often provide a second size if you need it for a different garment.
