Is my image uploaded to a server?

No. The entire conversion happens in your browser. Your image is read locally and encoded to base64 — nothing is ever sent to a server.

What image formats are supported?

Only JPG and JPEG files are accepted. The tool validates the file type and shows an error for unsupported formats.

Will the .md file work in GitHub or VS Code?

Yes. The embedded base64 image syntax is standard Markdown and renders correctly in GitHub, VS Code, Obsidian, Typora, and most other Markdown renderers.

Why is the output file large?

Base64 encoding increases file size by roughly 33% compared to the original image. For large photos this can produce a big .md file — consider resizing your image first if size matters.

Can I edit the Markdown before downloading?

Yes. The preview textarea is fully editable. Any changes you make are reflected in the downloaded file.
