How does Embrowser compare to Ink/Stitch or other digitizing software?

Unlike Ink/Stitch which requires downloading Inkscape and installing extensions, Embrowser is completely web-based with no installation needed. Our interface is designed specifically for embroidery digitizing with real-time 3D previews, cloud storage, and easy sharing. Embrowser prioritizes ease of use and accessibility.

Can I use Embrowser for commercial embroidery projects?

Yes! Original designs you create in Embrowser are yours to use for personal or commercial projects, subject to our Terms of Service. Ensure any artwork or images you use are properly licensed. Our Hobby plan ($4.99/mo early member discount for 12 months) offers additional features like more storage, private sharing, and higher usage limits that are great for small embroidery businesses.

What digitizing features does Embrowser include?

Embrowser includes easy-to-use digitizing tools with 6 fill types: tatami, satin, contour, ripple, spiral, and outline fills. Plus multi-color gradient fills for seamless color blending. Running stitches and edge walk, multiple underlay options, vector path editing, image tracing, realistic 3D stitch preview, 10 built-in embroidery fonts, and text on path for curved lettering. Upload embroidery files or font files (.ttf, .otf) to create custom fonts. Core fills are free; advanced fills like contour, ripple, and spiral are available on the Hobby plan.

Can I create embroidery fonts from existing embroidery files?

Yes! Embrowser allows you to upload existing embroidery files (.PES, .DST, .JEF, etc.) and convert them into reusable embroidery fonts. Simply upload your embroidery alphabet files, and Embrowser will organize them into a custom font you can reuse across any project. This is perfect for digitizers who already have embroidery alphabets they want to reuse.

Can I convert TTF or OTF fonts to embroidery fonts?

Embrowser supports uploading TrueType (.ttf) and OpenType (.otf) font files as a base for creating custom embroidery fonts. Upload any system font to use as a starting point, then customize the stitch settings.

Does Embrowser have image tracing for embroidery?

Yes! Embrowser includes powerful image tracing that converts photos and images into editable vector paths ready for embroidery. Simply drag and drop an image (PNG, JPG, etc.) and use the trace tool to create clean vector outlines. Then apply fills, satins, and other stitch types to turn any image into an embroidery design.

Does Embrowser have a handwriting or freehand drawing tool?

Yes! Embrowser includes a handwriting/freehand drawing tool that lets you draw custom paths directly on the canvas. Create signatures, custom lettering, or artistic designs by drawing freehand. The paths are automatically smoothed and can be converted to running stitches, satin stitches, or used as guides for fills.
