Compatibility
Six formats read, two formats created
StitchMind reads DST, PES, EXP, JEF, VP3 and XXX. It currently creates DST and PES exports.
Artwork for digitizing
Import PNG, JPEG and HEIC/HEIF directly. Images are decoded locally. Simple flat SVG shapes retain their contours and transformations; unsupported constructions are converted as a complete image before digitizing.
SVG gradients use image rendering when Preserve shades is active. Scripts and external references are rejected. Importing an SVG does not provide a native vector editor.
Faithful import
An unchanged machine file can be re-exported byte for byte in its original format.
Careful reconstruction
A stitch file does not contain the author’s full intent. DST-to-object conversion therefore remains experimental and reversible.
