Convert VP3 to JEF
Translate a VP3 design for a compatible Janome or Elna JEF workflow. VP3 RGB shades are mapped to Janome palette entries. Check both the resulting thread choices and the destination hoop; the design is not resized automatically.

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.
The two formats
.VP3 · HUSQVARNA VIKING, PFAFF
Husqvarna VP3
The current Husqvarna Viking and Pfaff format. It carries thread colours, and unlike the older HUS it can hold larger designs.
.JEF · JANOME, ELNA
Janome JEF
Janome and Elna machines read JEF. It carries thread colours drawn from Janome's own thread chart, along with the hoop the design was built for.
What to watch for
Janome's palette can shift VP3 shades
JEF output uses a fixed thread chart rather than VP3's RGB values. Review converted colours against the original design, especially nearby shades that might map to the same palette entry.
Hoop names are not interchangeable
The preview compares stitch dimensions with common rectangles. It does not transfer a VP3 hoop selection into a verified Janome machine setup. Use the usable embroidery area in your manual.
Keep the native design for editing
The download contains translated machine stitches, not the original digitising objects. Change lettering, density or design size in appropriate embroidery software before preparing the machine file.
