Explanation
The PCS file is a proprietary embroidery file format developed for Pfaff embroidery machines. It stores stitching paths, needle positions, and color changes.
While largely replaced by modern formats like VP3, PCS files are still found in older pattern libraries and need conversion for use on today’s machines.

- Common in Pfaff machines until around 2008
