What is the difference between .pec and .avif?

Name: Brother/Babylock/Bernina Home Embroidery Format; AV1 Image File Format
Extension: .pec; .avif
Format: Binary
Category: Embroidery; Raster Image
Developer: Pfaff; AOMedia
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.
MIME Type: application/x-pec-embroidery; image/avif
Sample: sample.pec; sample.avif

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.
