Why Convert PNG to MD?

Converting screenshots or documentation images to Markdown pulls the text into the one format that slots straight into README files, wikis, Obsidian vaults, and whatever static site generator is building your docs this year. No retyping.

The output pastes into your editor as-is.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Markdown keep my document's structure?
Line breaks and paragraph grouping carry over. Rich structure like nested lists or tables is out of scope for browser OCR; expect to tidy the output.
Will code in screenshots survive?
The text comes through, but code formatting does not. OCR targets printed prose; paste the result into your editor and reformat.
Can I convert multiple PNGs to a single Markdown file?
No. One image produces one Markdown file, in the browser and in desktop batches alike; merging is a paste job.
Which Markdown flavor does the output use?
Plain CommonMark, compatible with GitHub, Notion, Obsidian, and most static site generators.
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.

Building a documentation archive from screenshots?

TeraConvert Desktop batch-converts a whole stack of PNG screenshots to Markdown with Tesseract and your system language packs.
