Built for practical Markdown reuse
Image to Markdown should feel like a document workflow, not a toy OCR demo. The interface keeps the source, extraction status, and editable output visible together.
Tables and notes
Designed around screenshots, class notes, scanned pages, and table-heavy source material.
Portable Markdown
Copy the result or download a .md file for documentation, notes, repos, and knowledge bases.
What people say after trying Image to Markdown
Early users value the converter most when it turns screenshots, slides, and image-based notes into Markdown they can immediately edit.
“I uploaded a screenshot of a long guide and got a clean Markdown version in seconds. The headings and lists were much easier to edit than I expected.”
“This is exactly the kind of small tool I need when saving notes from images. It turns messy screenshots into something I can actually reuse.”
“I tried it with a course slide image. The Markdown output wasn’t just plain text - it kept the structure clear enough for me to organize my notes quickly.”
“For blog drafts, this saves me a lot of manual typing. I can capture text from an image, clean it up a little, and paste it straight into my editor.”
“I tested it with a product comparison image. The result was surprisingly readable, especially for lists and short paragraphs.”
“Most OCR tools just give me a block of text. This feels more useful because the output is already closer to a Markdown document.”
“I like that it’s simple. Upload an image, get Markdown, copy it, done. No complicated settings or extra steps.”
FAQ
Short answers about uploads, output quality, limits, and what to do when conversion needs a cleaner source image.
Basics
What the converter does and how the demo is positioned.
- Is it free?
- Yes. This hackathon demo is free to try and does not add watermarks to the Markdown you copy or download.
- What does it do?
- It uses OCR to turn text inside screenshots, scanned notes, documents, tables, and other image-based content into editable Markdown.
- Do I need to install software?
- No app installation is required. Open the page in a modern browser and use the converter workspace directly.
Upload Limits
The current front-end boundary for source images.
- Which image formats work?
- The current front end accepts PNG, JPG, JPEG, and WebP images up to 10 MB. Other formats can be added after the conversion API supports them.
- Can I convert screenshots?
- Yes. Screenshots are a primary use case, especially captured articles, notes, app screens, documentation, and chat screenshots.
- Can I convert multiple images at once?
- Not in this version. The current converter supports one image at a time so preview, conversion state, and Markdown output stay reliable during the demo.
- Can I use it on mobile?
- The current interface is optimized for desktop review and side-by-side editing. A mobile layout can be added after the core conversion flow is stable.
Output Quality
How Markdown structure and recognition accuracy behave.
- Does it support tables and lists?
- When the image contains clear tables, bullet points, numbered lists, headings, or paragraphs, the converter tries to preserve that structure in Markdown.
- Which languages work best?
- The current demo is optimized for English and Chinese source images. Broader language coverage depends on the OCR or API implementation connected to the converter.
- How accurate is conversion?
- Accuracy depends on image quality. Sharp text, good contrast, and clean cropping usually produce better Markdown than blurry or low-resolution images.
- What can I do with the Markdown?
- Copy it into documentation, notes, blogs, GitHub README files, Notion, Obsidian, static site generators, or any Markdown-supported editor.
Data & Troubleshooting
What to know before uploading files and how to recover from errors.
- Is my data secure?
- The front end sends one selected image to the configured conversion function. Avoid uploading sensitive files until your team publishes the production data policy.
- What is the maximum file size?
- You can upload one image up to 10 MB. If the file is larger, compress it or crop unnecessary areas before uploading.
- What if conversion fails?
- Use a supported format under 10 MB, then try a clearer or higher-resolution image. Cropping the image to the text area often improves results.
