Convert JEF to PNG

Understanding JEF and PNG file formats

The JEF file format is primarily associated with embroidery designs used by Janome sewing machines. It contains stitch patterns, thread colors, and other essential data for creating embroidery designs. On the other hand, the PNG (Portable Network Graphics) format is a widely-used image format known for its lossless compression and support for transparent backgrounds. Converting JEF to PNG allows you to view and share embroidery designs as standard images.
