Other tools
Turn a photo into Markdown with image to Markdown
A photo of a page, whiteboard, or slide holds text you cannot copy. Image to Markdown reads that text and gives you a .md file you can edit like any document.
Upload a JPG, PNG, or WebP image. The tool runs OCR on the picture and builds Markdown with headings, lists, and paragraphs when the source is clear.
Use image to Markdown for scanned notes, screenshot text, and whiteboard photos. For a PDF with a text layer, try PDF to Markdown instead.
