Description
The PCS file format is associated with Pfaff sewing and embroidery machines. It is specifically designed to store embroidery design data that can be read and utilized by Pfaff-branded machines. A PCS file contains instructions on stitches, thread colors, and other design elements necessary for the machine to accurately recreate the embroidery pattern on fabric. This file format allows for the transfer and storage of embroidery designs, enabling users to share, edit, and manage their embroidery projects efficiently.
The Visualization Image File Format (VIFF) is a specialized file format designed for storing image data. It is primarily used in scientific and technical applications where complex visualization of multi-dimensional data is required. VIFF files can store various types of data including grayscale, color, and multi-spectral images, making them suitable for tasks such as image processing, medical imaging, and remote sensing. This format supports a range of metadata, allowing for the inclusion of information about the image data, such as dimensions and color.

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.
