Convert SVG to HUS

Understanding SVG and HUS file formats

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is a widely-used vector image format that supports interactivity and animation. It is based on XML and is used for rendering two-dimensional images on the web. SVG files are resolution-independent, meaning they can be scaled to any size without losing quality.

HUS is a proprietary embroidery file format used by Husqvarna Viking sewing machines. It contains stitch data and instructions for creating embroidery designs. Unlike SVG, HUS files are specifically designed for embroidery machines and include information about thread colors, stitch types, and stitch sequences.

How to convert SVG to HUS

Converting an SVG file to a HUS file involves translating vector graphics into stitch patterns that an embroidery machine can understand. This process requires specialized software that can interpret SVG data and convert it into a format suitable for embroidery.
