Converting Markdown Text to PNG

Converting Markdown Text to PNG

Why convert Markdown to PNG

Sometimes you only have Markdown handy but need a polished visual for a slide, a support reply, or a social thread. Converting to PNG keeps headings, spacing, and code styling consistent on every platform.

Prepare the Markdown

  • Keep line width under 120 characters so text doesn’t wrap awkwardly.
  • Use fenced code blocks for commands so they render in monospace.
  • Add a short caption below the snippet to explain what viewers should notice.

Conversion workflow

  1. Paste the Markdown (or import a .md file) into Markdown2Image.
  2. Pick an aspect ratio: Thread for vertical cards, Deck for slides, Mobile for stories.
  3. Adjust colors and typography to match your brand.
  4. Export PNG for fast sharing and SVG/WebP if you also need a high-res embed.
## Rollout checklist
- Enable feature flag for 5% of tenants
- Monitor latency for two hours
- Publish status update once metrics stay flat

Sharing tips

  • Drop the PNG into Slack or Teams so everyone sees the same layout.
  • Attach the image to support tickets when text formatting would otherwise break.
  • Archive every exported asset in a Directus folder so you can update or localize it later.

With one export you preserve the Markdown look and still meet the expectations of channels that only accept images.
