I need help digitizing a design for embroidery.

In my country, Artspira doesn’t allow me to pay for a subscription, so I can’t use the “Image to Embroidery” feature. Is there anyone who can help me digitize a logo, or is there an online option that actually works?

Depending on how complex the design is, you can try https://dade-app.com as a quick "auto-digitizer".

There are free options out there for DIY. Otherwise you can find digitizers online through Fiverr or Etsy. Expect to pay between $5-15 USD per design.

Man, I totally forgot DADE is completely free to start. Sorry about this, this is a fantastic option to get started auto digitizing something

I've been working in nothing but Inkscape+Inkstitch since I started a few years ago. I haven't found anything I can't do with with. Inkscape is a free download, Inkstitch is a free add-on. Win-win.

There’s plenty of free tools offered that allow you to manually digitize an image for free (Ember, Inkstitch, Boldbobbin, etc) which I’d recommend. But if you’re dead set on auto digitizing the image then your only free option is Inkstitch which is a bit more complicated to get started.

Which of these three options is best for digitizing?

I helped build Ember so that’s my vote but all of the above options are capable

I would definitely go with ember. It's for free & super easy to use.
