What the Image converter handles
Use OCR to turn screenshots, photographed pages, and scanned documents into editable Markdown instead of retyping their text by hand.
Content extraction, not image syntax: This tool reads visible content inside an image. It does not create Markdown image embed syntax such as .
The Image converter is the dedicated image-to-Markdown landing page; /tools/ocr offers a compact OCR-only interface. Both extract visible content rather than generating an image reference. Open the OCR-only workspace

Conversion depends on the source file. Use this table as a review guide, not a guarantee.
| Element | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Clear printed text | Best candidate; still proofread names, dates, and punctuation. |
| Headings and lists | Structure may be inferred; check nesting and order. |
| Simple tables | Can be formatted as Markdown; merged or irregular grids need review. |
| Handwriting | Recognition varies substantially with writing and image quality. |
| Formulas | Notation may be misread; verify every symbol against the image. |
| Low-resolution images | Blur and compression reduce recognition quality. |
| Multiple languages | Results depend on the language, font, and configured OCR model. |
