What changes between PNG and DST

A PNG stores pixels; DST stores needle movements. The engine rebuilds your artwork as shapes first, then assigns satin, fill and running stitches to each one before writing the DST commands.

Getting the cleanest DST

Upload the largest PNG you have, keep colors flat and text above 5 mm. The analyzer flags anything too thin to sew before you spend credits.
