Step by step

How to convert JEF to SVG

To convert JEF to SVG, open the .jef file in the converter above, pick a background, and download an SVG. The file is read in your browser and drawn stitch by stitch in its thread colors, so the picture matches what the machine will sew.

  1. 1

    Open the .jef file

    Drop your Janome JEF file above, or try the sample. Nothing is uploaded.

  2. 2

    Pick the look

    Choose a background or keep it transparent. The SVG keeps every stitch as a vector line.

  3. 3

    Download the SVG

    Sign in free and save the SVG vector file. Use it in listings, proofs or mockups.

  4. 4

    Need changes?

    To change colors, size or stitches, digitize the original artwork and download a fresh embroidery file.

FAQ

JEF to SVG 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.

How do I convert JEF to SVG?

To convert JEF to SVG, open the .jef file in the converter above, pick a background, and download an SVG. The file is read in your browser and drawn stitch by stitch in its thread colors, so the picture matches what the machine will sew.

Is the SVG the same as the embroidery file?

No. The SVG is a picture of the design for viewing and sharing; your machine still needs the .jef file (or another embroidery format) to sew it.

Can I turn the SVG back into an embroidery file?

Not directly: the SVG holds stitch lines, not the original shapes. To make a new embroidery file, upload the artwork to the digitizer and pick a format such as JEF.

Is my file uploaded?

No. The file is read and drawn in your browser. Only the finished image is saved to your device.

Do I need an account?

Opening and previewing the JEF file is open to everyone. Downloading the SVG needs a free Embrizo account; no credit card.
