Is there a way for me to see embroidery files that have been digitized? For example files with .DST .PXF or .EMB

There are many different software options available for viewing embroidery files, but here are a couple of popular choices. We do not make money from or receive any benefits by recommending these options—they are simply provided as a courtesy to help you find a solution.  As these are not our resources, information on this page may change or become outdated without our knowledge so please do your own research.

1. Pulse Ambassador (Free - Requires Account)

Pulse Ambassador is a free online tool that allows users to view .DST embroidery files after creating an account. While it does not offer editing capabilities, it’s a great option for quickly previewing embroidery designs before production.

2. Wilcom Workspace (Paid - $50-100 Annually, Free Trial Available)

Wilcom Workspace is a more advanced tool that lets you view, edit, and estimate stitch counts for embroidery files, including .DST, .PXF, and .EMB. It costs $50-100 per month, but a free trial version is often available for those who want to test it before committing.
---NOTE:  There are 2 options with Wilcom Workspace and both are priced at approximately 50.00/year each.
     A: Wilcom TrueSizer – Primarily embroidery file viewer and converter. It allows users to:

• Open, view, resize, and convert embroidery files (such as .EMB, .DST, .EXP, etc.).
• Maintain stitch quality when scaling designs.
• Make basic modifications without full digitizing capabilities.

     B. Wilcom Estimator – A tool for estimating embroidery costs and production parameters. It helps businesses:

• Calculate the stitch count and production time for embroidery designs.
• Estimate pricing based on stitch count and other variables.
• Improve quoting accuracy for embroidery jobs.

Which Option is Best for You?

• If you just need to view .DST files without spending money, Pulse Ambassador is a solid free option.
• If you need stitch estimation, additional file format support, or basic editing tools, Wilcom Workspace is a powerful paid option.

Again, these are just a few of the many tools available for viewing embroidery files. Be sure to explore different options and choose the one that best fits your needs.
