What Satinsmith does with CSD
Open and preview CSD files free. Save a design as CSD with any export: the free plan includes five exports a month, and paid plans are unlimited. Converting many files at once needs Studio.
- Satinsmith writes at most 12 color segments to a CSD file, the most found in any sample file it was checked against. CSD has no trims or stops.
Satinsmith runs on Apple silicon Macs with macOS 14 or later. Download it free.

Before you sew
Check your machine's manual for the formats and versions it accepts. Satinsmith checks files in software, reports what an export changes, and does not test files on machines. Known limits.
