Turn a Changelog Into a Shareable Image
Paste a release note written in Markdown and export a PNG card with the version heading, the bullet list of changes, and any upgrade command.
Direct answer
Paste the release section of your CHANGELOG.md into the tool, choose a square or auto-height preset, and press Download PNG. The version heading, the bullets, the blockquote, and the upgrade command all render with their formatting, so the card is readable without the reader opening the repo.
Open Markdown to Image converterWhen to use this
- You announce releases in places that do not render Markdown, such as a feed or a chat channel.
- A release note needs to look the same everywhere it is reposted.
- You want one image per release for a docs page or a launch thread.
Steps
- Copy one release section from CHANGELOG.md — the version heading and its bullets.
- Paste it into the Markdown input.
- Pick Square 1080 × 1080 for a feed card, or an Auto height preset for a longer note.
- Choose a theme and, if you want, a solid colour or gradient background.
- Check the crop warning, then press Download PNG.
Example conversion
## 2.4.0 — 19 August - Table export keeps column alignment - `--dry-run` no longer writes to disk - Startup down from 1.8s to 0.4s > Upgrade: `npm i mytool@2.4.0`. No config changes needed.
A card with '2.4.0 — 19 August' as a heading, three bullets with the flag name in a monospace chip, and the upgrade note in a blockquote with a coloured left bar.
Common mistakes
- One release per image. A whole changelog file produces a very tall PNG that nobody reads in a feed.
- The version number is copied as written. The tool does not read your repository or generate release notes.
- Links render underlined and coloured but are not clickable in a PNG. Put the URL in the post text too.
FAQ
- Can the tool write the changelog for me?
- No. This tool only renders Markdown you paste. For drafting release notes from commits, use the Changelog Generator instead, then bring the result here to export a card.
- How do I keep a consistent look across releases?
- The controls stay set while the page is open, so you can paste each release in turn and export with the same theme, size, padding, and font size.
- What size works for a release announcement?
- Square 1080 × 1080 works well in most feeds. For a longer note, an Auto height preset keeps every line visible instead of cropping the bottom.
