What you get

What you get with your free design.

The free design is a normal production file, built the same way as a paid order.

A hand-built stitch file
A digitizer plans the underlay, stitch direction, density and pull compensation for your garment and finished size. No auto-digitizing.
The formats you need
DST, PES, JEF, VP3, EXP, HUS, TAP and other machine formats. Tell us your machine and we'll send the right one, or several.
Stitch simulation preview
A preview of how the design stitches, in full color, so you can check it before it goes on the machine.
Unlimited revisions
If something needs changing after your sew-out, reply with the change. Revisions are unlimited, with no time limit.

Prefer a vector file? The offer can be used for vector conversion instead (AI, EPS, SVG or PDF artwork). See vector art conversion.

The terms

How to request itFrom a business email address on your company's own domain.

Paid orders can come from any email address.

Why free

Why we give the first design away.

The only reliable way to judge a digitizer is to sew their file on your own machine, fabric and stabilizer. A stitch preview helps, but the sew-out is what counts.

So instead of a discount code, we digitize your first Simple or Medium design for free. If the file runs well, you know what you'll get on every order after it. If it needs changes, revisions are unlimited.

Every file is built by the PlixaLabs digitizing team: digitizers employed by our group company, Zorixo Creations Private Limited, in Bengaluru, India. We don't outsource the work.

How to claim

How to claim it in 3 steps.

  1. Upload your artwork. JPG, PNG, PDF, AI, EPS, SVG, or a clear photo of an embroidered garment.
  2. Tell us the details. Your company name, a business email address on your company domain, the garment, placement, finished width or height and your machine or file format. Write "free first design" in the notes.
  3. Get your file. It comes back at standard turnaround (4–8 hours) with a stitch simulation preview.

Tip: give us the garment, finished size and machine up front. It saves most of the back-and-forth.

After your free design

Straightforward pricing after that.

A flat price per design, not per 1,000 stitches. All formats, a stitch simulation preview and unlimited revisions are included.

Every design has one flat price set by its type and complexity; see the price list for each design type. Rush (2–4 hours) and super rush (1–2 hours) add 50% to the base price.

Other free options

Other free options, and when they're enough.

A free design from us isn't the only way to get a stitch file without paying. Here's an honest look at the alternatives.

Free digitizing software
Ink/Stitch is a free, open-source embroidery extension for the Inkscape vector editor, for Windows, macOS and Linux. It suits people who want to learn digitizing and have time to practise.
Software vs a service, compared →
Free auto-converters
Online converters turn an image into stitches automatically. Previews are often free, but downloads may need a paid plan or credits. They can handle bold, simple shapes; small text and fine detail usually need manual clean-up.

Free DST file viewer

Questions about the free design.

You can still order paid designs from any email address.
As a guide, Simple covers text, wordmarks and basic logos in 1 to 3 colors. Medium covers detailed logos with fills or mixed elements in 4 to 8 colors. Complex designs, such as detailed crests or very high color counts, aren't part of the offer and are paid at the normal price.
