PES File Viewer
Open a PES embroidery file in your browser to inspect its stitch path, thread colours and dimensions before transferring it to your machine. Zoom in, check your usable embroidery area, save a PNG preview or print the design and thread order. Check your machine manual for supported PES versions and design limits.
Stitch preview
PES FILE PREVIEWChoosing a file uploads it for processing. Temporary input and output files are removed after processing. Privacy Policy · Terms of Use
Drag to pan when zoomed. Zoom changes the preview only.
Large design: the on-screen preview and PNG use simplified stitch paths. The converted machine file keeps the full stitch data.
Thread order
Embroidery area check
This check does not rotate or resize your file. Comparison of stitch bounds only. Machine limits, positioning and movement commands can still prevent sewing. Confirm the usable embroidery area in your manual.
PNG and the printed sheet are visual references, not machine files or full-size sewing templates. Preview shows the source file.
About this format
Brother PES
A Brother embroidery format also used by compatible Baby Lock and some other machines. Versions and colour information vary. A readable preview or conversion does not guarantee that your machine accepts the file; check its version and embroidery-area limits.
What to watch for
These colours came out of the file
PES versions can store palette entries or richer thread information. The preview uses colours decoded from your file when present. HoopFile's PES version 1 output uses a fixed Brother palette; screen colours remain a guide rather than a guarantee of physical thread shades.
PES versions and machine support
PES exists in several versions, and support varies by machine and software. A readable preview does not prove compatibility. HoopFile's converter writes PES version 1, but hoop limits and transfer requirements still need checking.
Dimensions and stitch count do not certify sewing quality
Use the dimensions to compare your machine’s embroidery area and the stitch count to check its data limits. A total count divided by the design area is not a local stitch-density measurement. Fabric, stabiliser, underlay and digitising choices still need a test sew-out.
