What is Filora?

Filora (绣刻, “stitch and carve”) is a phone app for people who make things with machines: embroidery, CNC routing and laser engraving. You start from a picture. Filora cleans it up, traces its outlines, and turns them into either a toolpath for a cutting or engraving machine or a set of stitches for an embroidery machine. Then you export the file.

Everything happens on the phone. There is no account to create, nothing is uploaded, and no server is involved in the conversion, so it keeps working without a connection.

How it works

1

Import

Pick a picture from the gallery, take one with the camera, or open a file: JPG, PNG, SVG or an Illustrator (.ai) file saved with PDF compatibility.

2

Prepare

Crop, rotate, mirror, flip or invert. Adjust brightness, contrast, threshold, despeckle and smoothing while a live before-and-after view shows exactly what will be used. Set the real width in millimetres.

3

Choose the job

Cut or engrave: pick the operation, tool, depth, feed, tabs, lead-in, arcs, units and origin. Embroider: pick the stitch type, density, underlay, thread colours and hoop size.

4

Preview

Scrub or play the toolpath with an estimated run time, or watch the stitches appear in thread colours with the stitch count.

5

Export

Save the file to the phone or share it. G-code for cutting and engraving; DST, PES, JEF or EXP for embroidery.

Under the hood, photos are converted to clean black-and-white shapes, traced into outlines, then turned into toolpaths or stitches by a native engine running on the phone. SVG and Illustrator files keep their real size and shapes instead of being traced.

What you can make

Cut and engrave (CNC and laser)

  • Engrave, cut outside, inside or on the line, or clear a pocket
  • Multiple depth passes, safe height, feed and plunge rates
  • Holding tabs, lead-in and lead-out arcs
  • Real G2/G3 arcs for round shapes
  • Millimetres or inches, three origin choices
  • Optional laser mode
  • A warning when details are smaller than the tool

Embroider

  • Running, satin and fill stitches
  • Underlay and pull compensation
  • Up to 16 thread colours from one image
  • Hoop size check, trims and jumps handled for you
  • Stitch simulation before you export

Output formats

Cutting and engraving: plain-text G-code (GRBL-style, saved as .nc). Embroidery: DST, PES, JEF and EXP.

Filora writes these files following their published layouts. Compatibility with any particular machine or controller is not guaranteed, so please run a test on scrap material before real work.

Your files stay on your phone

Filora has no accounts and no analytics of its own. The Android versions show no ads; the iPhone and iPad version is free with ads (Google AdMob) that you can remove with a one-time purchase. Pictures you import and files you export are not sent to us or to anyone else. Projects are kept in the app’s private storage on your phone so you can reopen them, and you can delete them at any time. The details are in the Filora privacy policy.

Free and Pro

The whole import, prepare and preview flow, basic G-code, DST and PES export, running and fill stitches and single-colour designs are free. A one-time Pro purchase unlocks JEF and EXP export, multi-colour designs, satin stitches, Illustrator files, and holding tabs, lead-in and arcs for CNC. There is no subscription. The price is shown in the store.

On iPhone and iPad every feature is free and the app is supported by ads. A one-time “Remove Ads” purchase removes them for good, and an optional short video pauses them for an hour.

Questions

Do my pictures get uploaded?

No. Conversion happens on the phone. The app does not send your pictures or designs anywhere.

Will the files work on my machine?

Filora writes standard file formats, but we cannot promise compatibility with a specific machine, brand or controller. Always do a test run on scrap material first, and follow your machine’s safety instructions.

Why were some details left out of my toolpath?

A tool cannot cut details narrower than itself. When that happens, Filora tells you on the preview screen. Use a smaller tool or a larger width.

Can I try it before paying?

Yes. The core flow is free, including the full preview. Pro only adds the extra features listed above.
