In their own words
Embrowser
Embrowser is a browser-based editor for turning photos, logos, and text into machine embroidery designs. Its drawing tools cover paths, nodes, freehand work, shape operations, and a knife tool; text can follow curved paths. Image tracing converts photos into editable paths and stitches, and a 3D preview lets you inspect a design before stitching. The Free plan includes two image auto-traces per week. Embrowser imports SVG and image files, and exports PES, DST, JEF, VP3, EXP, and U01 embroidery files. The maker says it works with machines that read those formats, covering most home and commercial machines. It runs in a browser without installation but needs an internet connection; the maker says it works on Windows, Mac, Linux, and tablets. Desktop and laptop browsers suit editing best, tablets suit viewing and simple changes, and phones are too small for the editor. Free costs nothing; Hobby costs $9.99 a month or $99.90 a year.
