Is Embrizo a replacement for Wings XP?

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. Wings XP is aimed at people who want to build every stitch object by hand.

Can Embrizo open files I made with Wings XP?

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.

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?
