StitchConsole is a browser-based studio for creating and editing embroidery designs, with digitizing tools and image conversion. Its free plan includes run, satin, and fill stitches, editable pen and Bezier paths, underlay, pull compensation, density settings, and object auto-splitting. Image conversion turns artwork into editable stitch objects, with the first ten conversions free; the page says images are processed in the browser and do not leave it. The converter opens around thirty embroidery machine formats and exports DST, PES, JEF, EXP, VP3, PEC, XXX, U01, TBF, and PMV. Users can check stitch simulation, measurements, colour lists, and stitch counts before export. Free accounts can keep unlimited designs but sync ten at a time. Pro costs 19.00 USD per month and adds lettering, appliqué, motif fill and run, program split, unlimited auto-digitize, AI Assist, optimisers, bulk export, and an unlimited cloud library. The browser app runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, and ChromeOS without an installer or plugin. Auto-digitizing is suited to flat artwork; gradients and photographs do not convert well.
Who it is for
It suits embroidery designers who want browser-based digitizing, editing, and machine-file conversion. Flat artwork such as logos, badges, and clip art is a better fit for auto-digitizing than gradients or photographs.
