Why Convert PNG to MD?

Converting annotated screenshots or documentation images to Markdown extracts the text content into a format ready for README files, wikis, GitHub documentation, and static site generators.

OCR detection preserves heading hierarchy so the output slots directly into developer documentation workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the converter detect headings in Markdown output?
The OCR engine estimates heading levels based on relative font size within the detected text blocks. Larger text becomes H1/H2 headings; body text becomes paragraphs.
Will code blocks in screenshots be preserved?
Monospace text regions are detected and wrapped in Markdown code blocks when the OCR can distinguish them by font. Complex code formatting may require manual cleanup.
Can I convert multiple PNGs to a single Markdown file?
The browser tool outputs one Markdown file per image. TeraConvert Desktop can merge OCR output from multiple images into a single structured document.
Which Markdown flavor does the output use?
The output uses standard CommonMark Markdown compatible with GitHub, Notion, Obsidian, and most static site generators.
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.
