Convert PES to BMP

Understanding PES and BMP file formats

The PES file format is primarily used for embroidery machines. It contains stitching information, including the order of stitches, colors, and patterns. This format is widely used in the embroidery industry for creating designs that can be directly read by embroidery machines.

On the other hand, the BMP file format, also known as Bitmap Image File, is a raster graphics image file format used to store bitmap digital images. It is commonly used for storing 2D digital images independently of the display device, especially on Microsoft Windows and OS/2 operating systems.
