Why convert DST to AI?

AI is Adobe Illustrator’s native vector format. Converting from DST — the Tajima machine-embroidery stitch format — makes your files easier to share, edit and open everywhere.

Is DST to AI conversion lossless?

AI uses efficient compression; you can keep quality high while getting a smaller, more compatible file.

Format details
