## About

## What it does
PES to ZIP Converter turns a `.pes` embroidery file into a downloadable ZIP archive. Send the PES file in the request body, and you get a binary ZIP file back.

Use it when you need to package embroidery artwork for download, transport, or downstream processing in a format that is easier to move through file pipelines. The endpoint is specific about input: the uploaded file must have a `.pes` extension. The response is a ZIP archive containing the PES file, returned as binary output.

That makes PES to ZIP Converter useful in automation flows where you want to normalize embroidery assets before storing them, attaching them to jobs, or handing them off to another system that expects compressed archives. It’s a simple file transformation endpoint with a narrow contract, which keeps integration straightforward.

If your application handles embroidery design uploads, this service gives you a predictable way to convert a single PES file into a ZIP download without additional parsing or transformation logic on your side.
