Why Convert JPG to MD?

Photos of whiteboards, notes, or printed documentation can be converted to Markdown for immediate use in developer workflows.

The OCR extraction structures the text with heading levels and paragraph breaks, producing output that is ready to paste into a README, wiki, or note-taking tool.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is Markdown formatting from a photo?
Text recognition is generally high for clear photos. Formatting accuracy depends on how structured the original document is. Printed documents with clear headings convert better than freeform notes.
Can it handle photos taken at an angle?
Mild perspective is handled reasonably, but strongly angled shots reduce OCR accuracy. For best results, photograph documents flat-on with even lighting.
What image resolution produces the best Markdown output?
Photos taken at 12 MP or higher with good lighting typically produce 90-95% accurate OCR. Lower resolution or blurry photos reduce accuracy significantly.
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 this conversion really free, and is my file private?
Yes. The browser conversion runs entirely on your device using WebAssembly. Files are never uploaded to a server and are discarded from memory when you close the page. There is no file size tracking, no account link to your upload, and no cloud storage.
Do I need to create an account to convert files?
No. The browser converter works without signing in. An optional account is only needed if you want to save favorites, track conversion history, or upgrade to the desktop app with Polar license activation.
How fast is the conversion?
Most browser conversions complete in a few seconds. Large files (over 100 MB) or heavy formats (video, high-page PDFs) take longer depending on your device's CPU and available memory. The desktop app runs significantly faster using native engines.
