Embroidery digitizing for USA & worldwide customers
Photo Embroidery Digitizing
Photo digitizing turns a portrait, pet photo or detailed image into embroidery that keeps its depth and shading. Instead of flat color fills, it layers thread colors and stitch directions to blend tones the way a painter would.
Tajima Digitizer digitizes photos for gift shops, memorial and pet portrait businesses and apparel brands across the USA. Each design is built by hand, choosing which details to keep so the finished piece reads clearly at your size.

Tips for the best Photo Digitizing results
Send a sharp, well-lit photo
Good lighting and focus on the subject give the best result. Blurry or dark photos lose detail.
Go bigger for faces
Faces and pets look best at 4 inches or larger, where there is room for shading and fine features.
Choose a simple background
Removing or simplifying a busy background keeps attention on the subject and lowers the stitch count.
