Convert VP3 to PES
Bring a Husqvarna Viking or Pfaff VP3 design into a compatible Brother or Baby Lock PES workflow. VP3 RGB colours are translated to HoopFile's PES output palette, so some shades can change. The conversion preserves a stitch plan, not the original software's editable objects or project layout.

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.
.PES · BROTHER, BABY LOCK
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
RGB colours become palette entries
VP3 can hold RGB thread colours. This converter writes PES version 1 with a fixed Brother palette, so the nearest available shade may differ. Keep the VP3 thread chart when choosing physical threads.
Check size before transferring the file
A design made for a Viking or Pfaff hoop may exceed a Brother model's embroidery area. This tool does not split the design across hoops or resize it to fit.
PES is not a recovered software project
Downloading PES does not recreate the original digitising software's editable text, fills or layered artwork. Keep the original VP3 and any native project files for later editing.
