JPG to Markdown Converter

Summary

This tool converts a JPG image into a fully self-contained Markdown document by encoding the image as a base64 data URL and embedding it with a standard Markdown image tag. You can add a title, description, and any additional text content below the image. The resulting .md file opens in any Markdown editor or renderer and requires no external image hosting.

How it works

1. Upload a JPG or JPEG image using the file picker or drag and drop.
2. The image is read locally in your browser and converted to a base64 data URL.
3. Enter an optional image alt text, title, and body text to include in the document.
4. The Markdown preview updates in real time showing the exact output.
5. Click "Download .md" to save the complete Markdown file to your device.

Use cases

• Embed a diagram or screenshot into local Markdown notes without an image host.
• Create self-contained Markdown notes with inline photos.
• Share a single portable .md file that includes its own image data.
• Convert product or design screenshots into documentation drafts.
• Archive photos with accompanying text in an open, plain-text format.
• Generate Markdown files for offline or air-gapped documentation systems.
