The process of converting artwork into the digital form is called digitizing. It is related to the art of using an image or text and then using high-speed advanced machines. This picture or text is given to the program which manages and controls these machines and then the design is recreated in embroidery. Technically, this term applies to the process of turning analog data into digital information.

For example, the scanning of any data is the method of converting that data into digital information. So, this can be linked to embroidery as well. The artwork is made and stitches are used to create a digital print of a picture so that it can be employed to use on a computer-aided embroidery machine.
