    If you write in Markdown for a README, a wiki, a blog, or your notes app, retyping text from a screenshot is a chore. Our free image to Markdown converter runs OCR on your image and returns clean Markdown you can paste straight into any editor that speaks .md. It works on screenshots, photos, scans, and diagrams full of text. There is no sign-up, nothing to install, and your uploaded files are automatically deleted after processing.

    Why convert an image to Markdown?

    Markdown is the plain-text format behind GitHub READMEs, static-site blogs, documentation tools, and apps like Obsidian and Notion. When the text you need lives inside an image, you normally have to type it out by hand. This tool reads the characters for you and hands back lightweight, portable Markdown, so you can drop it into a repo, a wiki page, or your knowledge base without reformatting from scratch.

    How to convert an image to Markdown

    1. Open the image to Markdown converter and upload your image, or drag and drop it.
    2. Select your language if the text is not in English. The engine supports around 12 languages.
    3. Let the OCR engine read the image and structure the recognized text as Markdown.
    4. Download the .md file or copy the output and paste it into your editor.

    Great for screenshots and notes

    Capturing text from a screenshot is one of the most common reasons people reach for this tool. If you only need raw characters, the screenshot to text tool is a quick alternative, and image to text covers any image format. For a full walkthrough of the workflow, see our guide on how to convert an image to Markdown.

    What to expect from the output

    The converter produces clean, paragraph-based Markdown with sensible line breaks and reading order. It is excellent at body text and lists, but very complex layouts, multi-column pages, and tables may not map perfectly to Markdown syntax and can need light cleanup. Sharp, high-contrast source images give the best results, so a crisp screenshot beats a blurry photo. If you want a formatted document instead, try the image to Word tool.
