How these tools work
The creation and conversion tools open the Broderly studio with the right tool already selected; the viewer, the file checker and the price calculator work right in their page. Drawing, the 3D preview and the quality check happen entirely in your browser: your image or file never leaves your computer until you ask for the machine file. The final file is produced by our server for your account, in seconds, in your machine's format.
Is it free?
Opening, converting, previewing the stitches in 3D and running the quality check are free and need no account. Without an account, the simple converter (automatic settings) sends the machine file to your e-mail address. Downloading the machine file directly needs a free account (Discovery plan: 3 files a month, designs up to 30,000 stitches); the Loisir plan, at €9.99 a month, gives 10, designs up to 50,000 stitches; shops that produce every day take the Atelier plan at €19.99 a month or €199.99 a year. Atelier can be tried free for 14 days.
