Recommended workflow

01

Upload your DST file

Drag your .dst into the StitchPilot.ai workspace, or use the file picker. The file is read entirely in your browser.

02

Review the stitch layout

See the design rendered with stitches, color order, and approximate dimensions. Identify color changes and verify the design before exporting.

03

Export the JPG

Save a JPG preview for Etsy listings, marketing emails, design library catalogs. The JPG reflects what the embroidery design looks like when stitched.

04

Optional: convert to other formats

If you need to move the design to a different machine, head to the relevant converter page to export an alternate embroidery file from the same source.

Local preview, no install

StitchPilot.ai renders DST files in the browser. The JPG preview is a flat raster (JPG) or vector (SVG) — useful for visual review and client-facing communication, not a stitch file.

  • DST files are processed to generate previews only
  • Use converter pages to move the design to another embroidery format
  • Contact [email protected] if a file does not open correctly
  • Keep the original DST file for production

DST to JPG — common questions

Why convert DST to JPG?

JPG previews let you visually inspect DST embroidery designs without loading them onto a machine. Useful for Etsy listings, marketing emails, design library catalogs.

Can I open DST files without Tajima software?

Yes. StitchPilot.ai reads DST in the browser — no Tajima software required. After opening, export as JPG for sharing.

What resolution is the JPG output?

Resolution is configurable in the workspace. Default sizes work for typical client review and catalog use.

Does the JPG reflect the actual stitched result?
