Brother & Babylock Digitizing

PNG to PES | Convert PNG to PES Online Free

Avoid "unsupported file" errors. Get a manually digitized .PES file optimized for Brother Innov-is and Babylock machines in 24 hours.

What is a PNG?

A PNG file is just pixels. Your Brother PE-800 or SE-600 cannot "see" shapes in a PNG. It creates a mess if you try to import it directly.

What is PES?

PES is the native format for Brother, Babylock, and Bernina Deco machines. It stores stitch coordinates, color data, and hoop information specific to these home and prosumer machines.

Manual Digitizing

Our PNG to PES converter isn't a robot. Expert digitizers manually trace your logo to ensure clean satin stitches and perfectly readable text on your garments.

Technical Details

Why PES Files Need Special Care

Brother machines are fantastic, but they have specific limitations compared to industrial Tajima machines. A generic DST file often "floats" or has wrong colors when opened on a Brother screen.

Our PNG to PES converter service optimizes for:

  • Hoop Limits: We ensure the design fits exactly within standard 4x4 or 5x7 hoops to avoid "Design Too Large" errors.
  • Brother Color Palette: PES files utilize Brother's specific thread chart. We match your logo colors to the nearest Brother thread number.
  • Density for Home Machines: Home machines push the needle differently. We adjust density to prevent "birdnesting" in the bobbin case.

FAQ: PNG to PES

Questions about files for your Brother machine?

Contact Support
No. While some machines can read both, simply renaming the file extension (e.g., design.dst to design.pes) often corrupts the header information. PES files hold specific hoop and color pallet data that DST files do not. It's best to export a native PES file.
Older Brother machines (like the SE400) have strict 4x4 inch hoop limits. If a file is even 1mm larger (101mm), the machine will refuse to read it. We ensure your file is perfectly sized for your specific hoop.
Yes. We support the Brother PR series (PR655, PR1050X). Just let us know you have a multi-needle machine, and we will sequence the colors correctly for efficient production.
Absolutely. We match every color in your PNG image to the nearest Brother proprietary thread color number and provide a PDF worksheet so you know which spool to use.
