Changelog
The blog is live: the embroidery file formats guide
- First blog post: “Embroidery file formats: which does your machine need?” — the guide to the PES, DST, JEF, EXP and VP3 formats (what they carry, DST or PES, what a conversion changes), written in English and French.
- A “Format guide” link joins the footer of every page.
Transparency, security and reading comfort
- New “About” page: who builds the site, how the conversion works (pyembroidery, EU-based server, no AI) and how the service is funded.
- Illustrated conversion pages: a preview of the design, before and after conversion, is now shown for every format pair.
- The legal notice now details hosting (Cloudflare, dedicated Hetzner server in the EU) and file processing.
- Hardened security: strict HTTP headers (Content-Security-Policy, HSTS, Permissions-Policy) on every page.
- Your chosen output format is remembered between visits, and the file uploader starts loading earlier thanks to module preloading.
- Machine-readable documentation: /llms-full.txt publishes the full site content alongside /llms.txt.
- English pages now have English URLs (/en/convert/pes-to-jef/, /en/about/); old addresses redirect automatically.
Content, transparency and performance
- Every conversion page gains a dedicated guide: a comparison table of the two formats, a “what changes in this conversion” section, machine-compatibility notes and one dedicated FAQ entry.
- The legal pages (legal notice, privacy, terms) are published, along with the file retention policy.
- Page JavaScript weight is cut fivefold: interactive areas moved from React to Preact.
- The 10 MB per-file limit and immediate deletion of converted files are now documented under the drop area.
Public launch
- Online converter for the PES, DST, JEF, EXP and VP3 formats: 20 possible conversions, in English and French.
- 2 free conversions every 24 h, no sign-up required; 24-hour pass and monthly plan for unlimited use.
