How to handle images when converting Word to Markdown
To keep an illustration, save it next to your Markdown and insert a relative image link. Put the Markdown file and its images in the same repository or folder when sharing. If you only need the text in a screenshot, OCR saves you from retyping it. Check small labels and numbers against the original.

To keep an illustration, save it next to your Markdown and insert a relative image link. Put the Markdown file and its images in the same repository or folder when sharing. If you only need the text in a screenshot, OCR saves you from retyping it. Check small labels and numbers against the original.
What OCR adds to your Markdown
Illustrative example: OCR reads the text in a screenshot and inserts it where the image appeared in Word.
How to convert a Word document with images
- Upload a .docx file with clear, readable screenshots.
- Choose Markdown and sign in to start the conversion.
- Review the extracted text, then copy it or download the .md file.
Does the Markdown include the original images?
The OCR tool inserts recognized text in place of each image. Keep the original Word file or save its images separately if you need the graphics.
Useful for screenshots in documentation
Turn terminal screenshots in runbooks, labels in training guides, and text in research figures into searchable, editable content. Check small print and numbers against the original.
