- Description
- The pec file type is a proprietary embroidery format used by Brother, Babylock, and Bernina home embroidery machines. It is used to store machine-readable designs for the machines to stitch out. The files can be edited with a variety of embroidery software programs.
- It is an image compression codec file with the same quality as .jpeg, but that is ten smaller. It supports HDR (High Dynamic Range). SDR (Standard Dynamic Range), and WCG (Wide Color Gamut) images. Also, it contains both the image sequences and image items. The only pitfall is that a few applications support it.
