Convert PES to CAL
Convert PES images to CAL format, edit and optimize images online and free.
The PES file extension stands for "Brother PE Embroidery Format", developed by Brother Industries for their embroidery machines. PES files contain detailed instructions for stitching patterns, including design information, colors, and machine commands like "stop", "jump", and "trim". Initially exclusive to Brother machines, the format's utility led to its broader adoption in the embroidery industry. PES files are primarily created using Brother's PE-Design software and are compatible with various home embroidery machines, including Babylock and Bernina.
The CAL file extension, known as CALS (Continuous Acquisition and Life-cycle Support) Type 1 Image, is a 1-bit black-and-white raster image format developed by the U.S. Department of Defense in the mid-1980s to standardize graphics data interchange for military documentation. It is primarily used for storing and sharing monochrome images while retaining orientation metadata. The format supports both uncompressed and compressed (using CCITT Group 4 compression) images.
