Convert STI to JPEG

Understanding the sti and jpeg file formats

STI files are typically associated with Stitch Image files used in embroidery design software. These files store stitch patterns and instructions for embroidery machines. On the other hand, JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is a widely used raster image format known for its efficient compression and compatibility with most devices and software.

Why convert sti to jpeg?

Converting an STI embroidery design to a JPEG image allows you to easily share, preview, or print the design as a standard image. This is useful for showcasing embroidery patterns to clients or for documentation purposes.
