Embird is embroidery software comprising of Manager and Editor. The former allows for design printing, conversion, and display while the latter enables design editing. Optional plug-ins can be used for lettering and new designs creation.

The Manager component is an indispensable tool that allows users to read and write designs in various formats. Furthermore, it can convert designs, display them in a 1:1 scale, and print helpful documentation. One of the standout features of the Manager is the 3D preview, which enables users to assign colors to needles and preview a design before actually embroidering it. Plus, with built-in thread catalogs, finding the right thread for your project is a breeze.
The Editor component is also loaded with useful features that allow you to edit existing designs. It enables users to resize, adjust density, and manipulate elements such as mirroring, centering, skewing, and rotation. Additionally, users can split and join designs or erase parts of them as needed. If you're looking to improve your sewing skills, Embird's sew simulator is a valuable tool.
In terms of plug-ins, Embird offers an alphabet plug-in that allows users to create lettering using pre-digitized characters. Alternately, users can install the Font Engine plug-in to create lettering with OpenType and TrueType fonts. With the Digitizing Studio plug-in, users can even digitize their own designs using outlines and auto-fill. Additionally, the Sfumato Stitch plug-in enables users to create multi-color designs from photos, making digitizing photographs easier than ever. Finally, the Iconizer plug-in displays embroidery files instead of common Windows icons, making it easy to organize your designs.
Overall, Embird is an all-in-one embroidery software that offers a host of features perfect for both novice and experienced users.
