PHB designs are commonly tied to Brother embroidery software, while XXX is used by Singer-compatible embroidery machines and applications. Convert the file when the destination machine or editing program accepts XXX but cannot read the original PHB format.

What the PHB format is

PHB is a Brother embroidery design format associated with Brother PE-Design and related embroidery software. It stores machine stitch information such as needle coordinates, thread colors, stitch order, and design dimensions. You may encounter PHB files in older Brother design collections or after saving work from compatible versions of PE-Design.

What the XXX format is

XXX is a machine-embroidery format used by Singer-compatible machines and by some Compucon and third-party embroidery applications. It is intended for stitch production rather than storing fully editable embroidery objects, so it is useful when transferring a design to hardware that requires XXX.

How to convert PHB to XXX

Convert online with 101convert

  1. Open the PHB to XXX converter on 101convert.com.
  2. Select or drop the source file, such as design.phb.
  3. Set the output format to XXX.
  4. Start the conversion and download the resulting file, such as design.xxx.
  5. Copy the XXX file to the machine’s supported USB media or open it in the Singer-compatible embroidery software used for final preparation.

The online converter requires no installed conversion software and is available free of charge.

Convert with desktop embroidery software

If the online conversion does not accept a particular PHB version, open the file in Brother PE-Design, Embird, or another embroidery editor that explicitly supports both formats. Use File → Open to load the PHB file, check the design in the stitch or preview view, then choose File → Export or Save as and select XXX. Menu names and supported formats vary by software edition; do not rename .phb to .xxx, because changing the extension does not convert the stitch data.

Quality and compatibility limits

PHB-to-XXX conversion normally preserves stitch coordinates but may not preserve editable object boundaries, appliqué settings, lettering, thread-brand metadata, or color names. XXX support can also differ between Singer machine models, so confirm the required hoop size, maximum design dimensions, thread-color order, and supported media before stitching.

Open the converted file in an embroidery editor and inspect stitch count, trims, jumps, density, and start/end points. A machine preview or test sew on scrap fabric is recommended because format conversion can change how color stops and trims are interpreted.
