Markdown to Carousel: Split One Draft into Three Image Cards

Turn a Markdown checklist into a three-card carousel. Split by H3, check the preview order, and download three example images in one ZIP.

Markdown to Carousel: Split One Draft into Three Image Cards

Turn a short Markdown checklist into a carousel with one action per card. The Markdown to Cards tool can split a single source by headings and download the whole set as a ZIP.

Split one draft into three cards

  1. Open the tool and paste the example below into the Markdown editor.
  2. In Settings, open Output, find Splitting strategy and select Split by H3 (###). Leave the custom delimiter empty for this example.
  3. Check that the preview shows three cards in order. Each numbered heading should start a new card.
  4. Choose PNG as the image format and click Download all. Extract the ZIP before uploading the individual images.

Start the draft with the first numbered heading. This gives the first card a clear title and keeps the source aligned with the order you plan to publish.

Try the share-link checklist

This sample uses three short checks for a public link. Replace the headings and paragraphs to reuse the structure for release notes, onboarding steps or a short tutorial. The samples use a 42 px font setting. Open Appearance in Settings to reproduce it.

### 1. Open the public link

Use a signed-out window. Confirm the page loads without your account.

### 2. Check the phone view

Read the title and first paragraph at phone width. Fix anything that spills off the screen.

### 3. Add a caption

Say what readers will find. Put the destination link beside the image.

Second carousel preview, reminding readers to check the page at phone width

Download the three-card ZIP · Open the second PNG

The sample ZIP contains three PNG captures of the live preview. The image above is the second capture. Batch download returned an error during our November 10, 2026 test. If you see an error too, keep the Markdown and try the download later.

Fix a split or a crowded card

If two steps land on one card, confirm that each heading starts with three hashes and a space, and that the split setting uses H3. If the preview has more cards than you expected, check for extra H3 headings in the draft. Use bold text for a short label within a card.

Open the exported images at phone width. If a line wraps awkwardly or content reaches the edge, shorten the heading or paragraph and export again. Keep the card numbers in the source so you can check the order after extracting the ZIP.

Publish the images with a caption

Upload the extracted images in numerical order. Put the destination link and a short summary in the caption where readers can use them. Keep the original Markdown so you can correct one step and export the set again. Create a carousel from Markdown.
