TrueSizer alternative: auto-digitize in your browser
Truesizer, long written TrueSizer, is Wilcom's tool for viewing, resizing and recoloring embroidery designs. It now runs in the browser as part of WilcomWorkspace, with resizing that recalculates stitches and export to 24 machine formats; the old TrueSizer Pro e4.2 desktop program is discontinued. It doesn't digitize images. Here's how it compares with Embrizo, and when each one is the better choice.
- Nothing to install
- No credit card needed
- 9 machine formats

TrueSizer vs Embrizo questions
The quickest way to see what it does with your artwork is to try it. With a free account, digitizing and previewing cost nothing and take about a minute.
Is Embrizo a replacement for TrueSizer?
Yes. For turning logos, drawings and artwork into embroidery files, Embrizo is faster and easier: upload an image and get a ready-to-sew file in seconds, on any computer, with nothing to install or learn. Truesizer only views, resizes and recolors existing designs; it can't make a file from an image.
Can Embrizo open files I made with TrueSizer?
Embrizo opens machine files (DST, PES, JEF, EXP, VP3, XXX, PEC, U01 and TBF) in the free file viewer and converts them between formats. It doesn't open other programs' own working files, so export a machine format first.
Does Embrizo work on a Mac or a Chromebook?
Yes. It runs in a modern browser on Windows, Mac, Linux and Chromebooks, with nothing to install. Your designs are saved to your account.
Can I try Embrizo before paying?
Yes. A free account lets you digitize, preview and save designs and download the free designs. You need a plan only to download files you digitize from your own images.
Where do the TrueSizer details come from?
From Wilcom's own website, checked in November 2026. Prices and features change, so check the vendor before you buy.
