What is a EXP file?

EXP (Expanded) is the format used by Melco and most Bernina embroidery machines. It carries stitch data and color-change commands.

What you can do with a EXP file here

  • Watch it stitch out. The simulator plays the file one stitch at a time, with adjustable speed, so you can spot density issues and trim/jump count problems before you stitch on real fabric.
  • Read the metadata. Stitch count, dimensions, color sequence, thread length estimate, and machine path — all without opening digitizing software.
  • Edit thread colors. Reassign any color to a custom hex or match against Madeira, Robison-Anton, Gunold, Isacord, or Sulky thread codes, then export the palette.
  • Convert to another format. Save to DST, PES, JEF, EXP, VP3, HUS, XXX, PNG, SVG, or G-code without leaving the page.

Frequently asked

Do I need to install software to view a EXP file?

No. Freemoonie runs in your browser. Drop the file on the page and the viewer renders it. No account, no download, files up to 50 MB.

Will my EXP file be uploaded to a server?

The file is sent to our server only long enough to parse it, then deleted within 24 hours. We don't keep it and we don't train on it.

Can I convert a EXP file to another machine's format?

Yes. The converter targets DST, PES, JEF, EXP, VP3, HUS, XXX, PEC, plus PNG, SVG, and G-code.
