Auto start/stop points
Auto-pick each shape's stitch start and stop based on its neighbor — minimize jump stitches without placing points manually. The button is disabled while we finish the experience; any designs already using it load with those points pinned as manual so the stitch output stays the same.

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 ($9.99/mo or $99.90/yr for 2 months free) 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, built-in embroidery fonts, and text on path for curved lettering. Core fills are free; advanced fills like contour, ripple, and spiral are available on the Hobby plan.
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.
