DST file extension (Tajima CAM) is used by embroidery machines and software. Tajima embroidery format is widely supported by embroidery machines and applications. DST file holds stitching instructions for embroidery machine, such as trim, stop, and jump. DST file also contains label metadata.
PES file format is used a computer aided manufacturing (CAM) embroidery software created by Brother. PES files store color palette data, pattern instructions, and operational instructions for sewing machine, including ”start”, ”stop”, and ”trim” instructions.
After converting the file to the new format, you will be able to use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that the DST file after converting to PES may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from DST to PES to be the same, you have to do this carefully and choose the proper application from the list below.
There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but it will certainly help you. If, after all, the effect of converting DST to PES does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in DST format, properly converted to a PES file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
If after converting the file DST the desired result was not achieved, you can try to change the format of DST file to other than PES. On our website you will find more information on the following conversion options
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your DST file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to PES on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the DST file in its original format (without conversion to PES file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
