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 PNG file is an image file stored in the Portable Network Graphic (PNG) format. It contains a bitmap of indexed colors and uses lossless compression, similar to a .GIF file but without copyright limitations. PNG files are commonly used to store graphics for web images.

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.
