Description
Pcq files are Pfaff Embroidery Data files that are created by Pfaff Creative embroidery machines, and are used to store patterns and designs that have been created by users. They contain information about the stitch types, colors, and coordinates used to create the embroidery pattern. Pcq files can be opened and edited using the Pfaff Creative software.
A GIF file is an image file often used for web graphics. It may contain up to 256 indexed colors with a color palette that may be a predefined set of colors or may be adapted to the colors in the image. GIF files are saved in a lossless format, meaning the clarity of the image is not compromised with GIF compression.

What a conversion keeps

Stitches
Every stitch is kept at its exact position. Nothing is re-digitised.
Colours
Kept when the target stores them. DST stores no colours, only where each colour changes, so your machine asks for the threads.
Trims, jumps and stops
Kept, and written the way the target machine expects them.
Objects and lettering
Design programs keep shapes and text as objects. A machine file only holds stitches, so objects become stitches.
