Why Convert JPG to MD?

A photo of a printed page is a dead end in a developer workflow until the text comes out of it, and that is exactly what OCR to Markdown does: reads the page, keeps the paragraph breaks, and hands you text that pastes straight into a README or wiki.

No retyping.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is Markdown formatting from a photo?
Text recognition is generally high for clear photos of printed pages. Formatting depends on how structured the original is; clean headings convert better than freeform notes.
Can it handle photos taken at an angle?
Mild angles are fine. Strongly tilted shots hurt recognition, so photograph documents flat-on with even lighting when you can.
What image quality produces the best Markdown output?
Sharp, evenly lit photos convert best. Blur, glare, and low resolution are the main accuracy killers.
Can I edit the Markdown output before saving?
The converted Markdown is delivered as a plain .md file that opens in any text editor, Obsidian, VS Code, or GitHub for immediate editing.
Is my file private?
Yes. The conversion runs in your browser tab and nothing is uploaded, so your files never leave your device. The only limit is size: 25 MB for this format. Bigger files route to the desktop app.
