Embroidery sizing is based on the width of the design. Once the width is set, the height is automatically scaled proportionally to maintain the original design ratio. This ensures the design does not stretch or distort and keeps the embroidery looking clean and professional.

Point to consider when choosing a photo

Here are some clear, practical points to consider when selecting a photo for line art embroidery:

1. Strong Contrast

Choose a photo where the subject stands out clearly from the background. High contrast makes it easier to trace clean lines and define shapes.

2. Clear Outlines

Images with well‑defined edges translate best into line art. Avoid photos where important elements blend together or lack distinct borders.

3. Simple Composition

Embroidery works best with minimal detail. Choose photos that focus on one subject, with fewer overlapping parts.

4. Good Lighting

Even, natural lighting helps reveal accurate shapes without confusing shadows that might convert poorly into line art.

5. Distinct Facial Features (for portraits)

For people or pet portraits, ensure:

  • Eyes are visible
  • Head is not tilted too far
  • Features are not obscured (e.g., hair covering the face)

Line art has to rely on fewer details, so clarity is essential.

6. High Resolution

A sharp, high-quality image helps you zoom in and trace lines precisely without guesswork.

7. Focus on Shape Rather Than Texture

Embroidery can't capture texture like fur or hair in high detail, so select images where the shape of the subject communicates the essence more than texture.

8. Balanced Proportions

Ensure nothing important is cropped awkwardly. Centered subjects or well-framed shots convert more cleanly.

9. Emotional or Recognizable Pose

Especially for keepsakes or gifts, choose a photo that captures a meaningful expression, stance, or moment that’s recognizable even in simplified line form.
