Brother Embroidery File Format | Brother International Corporation | Data Files |
The PEC file extension refers to Brother Embroidery files. These files contain information about embroidery patterns, thread colors and other design elements. They are created with specialized embroidery software such as Brother PE Design, Embird, or Wilcom TrueSizer. By using these files, users can create unique designs for their projects.
A PEC file consists of details about the embroidery pattern, instructions for the colours of the design, dimensions of the pattern, type of the fabrics to be used, information on how the fabric should be stabilized, stitch techniques and other detailed information. It also contains a bitmap image which can be used for pattern preview as well as giving a representation of the final design. These types of programs are used to create detailed 3-dimensional designs as well as edit existing patterns.
Similar File Extensions
In addition to PEC, other related embroidery file extensions include PES, .DST, .EXP, .JEF, .PCS, and others.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .PEC) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .PEC extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .PEC file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .PEC extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .PEC extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .PEC file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .PEC file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .PEC file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .PEC file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .PEC file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
