About this app

🧵 From image to machine, turn your ideas into embroidery right from your phone.

MaoDesign is your digital machine embroidery studio. Create designs from images, personalize projects, inspect every detail, simulate the stitch-out, and prepare files for your machine—all in one app.

🖼️ TURN IMAGES INTO EMBROIDERY

Import a photo or illustration and use the optimization tools to create your design.

✓ Remove the background while preserving important details
✓ Simplify colors for a cleaner result
✓ Adjust size, density, compensation, outline, and underlay
✓ Compare the original image with the optimized version before creating

✨ CREATE IT YOUR WAY

Start with an image, text, a freehand line, or an existing embroidery file.

✓ Choose your hoop size
✓ Create embroidered text and adjust the font, size, alignment, and curve
✓ Draw freehand directly on your project
✓ Combine and arrange elements inside the hoop

🎨 EDIT WITH CONTROL

Make changes directly in the visual editor.

✓ Move, resize, rotate, duplicate, and rearrange elements
✓ Change colors and browse thread catalogs
✓ Zoom in, zoom out, and check placement inside the hoop
✓ Switch between solid, stitch, and realistic views

▶️ SIMULATE BEFORE YOU STITCH

Review your design stitch by stitch before production. See the stitch sequence, thread changes, progress, stitch count, and estimated time.

📁 OPEN AND EXPORT YOUR FORMATS

Open PES, JEF, XXX, DST, HUS, and PEC files. Export as DST, JEF, PEC, PES, or XXX to continue on your machine. You can also share the machine file or generate a PNG image of your project.

📱 KEEP YOUR PROJECTS CLOSE

Save your embroidery designs, open files received from other apps, and keep working wherever you are.

Whether you are creating a new idea, personalizing a design, or checking everything before production, MaoDesign puts essential machine embroidery tools in the palm of your hand.
