Convert DSZ to PES

Understanding DSZ and PES file formats

DSZ files are embroidery design files used by certain embroidery machines and software. They contain stitch data, color information, and design layout. PES files are a widely used embroidery format, especially for Brother and Babylock machines. PES files store similar information but are compatible with a broader range of embroidery hardware and software.
