One image can be comprised of millions of different colored pixels. On the right a small section of balooon blown up where you can see the individual pixels. On the left, you can see the picture of a balloon.
A pixel is short for “picture element.” Zoom in on any picture and you will start to see the individual pixels that make up that picture. Computers store images (like JPGs) as pixels. But until the 1980s, most of us probably only considered pictures to be something that we held in our hands after getting developed at the local photo store.īut now we are more accustomed to seeing images on the screen, whether it is on a computer or a tablets, phone, etc… And that image information must be stored on our devices in order for the device to know how to display it. Yes – I know – we all know what an image is. Want to remember this? Save “How to convert an image into an embroidery design” on your favorite Pinterest board. Then I will go into the details of how exactly you can do this type of conversion using some pretty inexpensive (and even free) embroidery digitizing software.
Therefore, before I can explain why the whole process of converting an image (like a JPG) into an embroidery file (like a PES, DST, JEF, etc….) is a bit more complex than simply hitting a “convert” button, I need to clarify how images are different from embroidery files. There is a little bit to it and some images will be easier to convert into an embroidery file than others. But fair warning: converting an image (like to JPG) is not exactly like pressing an easy button. So – get out your iPhones and snap some pics, because I’m going to show you exactly how to do it. Using inexpensive and even free software, it is indeed possible to convert an image to an embroidery file.
Wouldn’t it be cool to be able to stitch out a picture of a loved one using an embroidery machine? Guess what? You actually can. You have successfully joined our subscriber list.
