About Truesizer

Truesizer is the WilcomWorkspace application for viewing, preparing, and converting embroidery designs. It enables you to inspect embroidery files, resize and recolor designs, create production worksheets, and convert designs to a wide range of embroidery machine file formats, all from a web browser. Whether you're reviewing customer artwork, preparing designs for production, or generating machine files, Truesizer provides the tools you need without requiring full digitizing software. Because Truesizer is cloud-based, you can access your embroidery designs from virtually any computer with an internet connection.

Truesizer is available as a standalone application or as part of a Wilcom Library subscription.
