Download and install JPG/JPEG Picture Converter 1.1.0.9 (see Assets). Operate the conversion program on the desktop. Click on the 'Insert.' Switch on the primary window. Select a JPEG image document for conversion. Almost every manufacturer uses their own particular file format, and file conversion tools are necessary to translate a pattern from one brand of machine to another. Luckily, most embroidery design patterns can be converted into a PES file which works with Bernina, Brother and Babylock machines.
| Name | PES |
| Full name | PES Brother Embroidery Format |
| File extension | .pes |
| MIME type | |
| Developed by | Brother Industries |
| Type of format | |
| Description | The PES format is a machine embroidery file format for Brother Industries and Bernina International series of embroidery machines, among others. PES files contain at their core two different parts for two completely different purposes. The PES part contains the design information for Brother PE-Design and similar applications. And the PEC part contain the design name, colors, embroidery machine commands, and graphics. These are all intended for the embroidery machine. Since the PEC block is the same in all versions so that it's always backwards compatible with the hardware of the Brother and Bernina embroidery machines, software tends to only read that data and turns those commands into line segments. |
