Understanding PES and VP3 file formats

The PES file format is a widely used embroidery file format compatible with Brother and Babylock embroidery machines. It contains stitching information, including color and design data, which is essential for creating embroidery patterns.

This conversion is essential for users who switch between machines or need to share designs with others using different equipment.
