How to Turn a README Into an Image

Paste README Markdown, pick a theme and a size, and download a PNG of the rendered card. Headings, lists, tables, and code blocks are styled for you.

Direct answer

Paste the README Markdown into the tool, choose the GitHub theme and an Auto height preset, then press Download PNG. The tool renders the Markdown to styled HTML, draws it on a canvas in your browser, and saves the result as a PNG. Nothing is uploaded, and no account is needed.

When to use this

  • You want a picture of a project README for a slide, a post, or a portfolio page.
  • A README section explains a concept better than a paragraph of retyped text.
  • You need a static image because the destination does not render Markdown at all.

Steps

  1. Copy the README section you want to show. A single section reads better than a whole file.
  2. Paste it into the Markdown input on the left.
  3. Set Theme to GitHub so headings get the familiar underline rule.
  4. Set Size to an Auto height preset so nothing is cropped.
  5. Adjust Padding and Font size until the preview looks right, then press Download PNG.

Example conversion

Markdown input
# mytool

A small CLI that exports Markdown to PNG.

## Install

```bash
npm i -g mytool
```

## Usage
- `mytool export` writes a PNG
- `mytool --dry-run` prints the plan
What the exported PNG shows
A PNG card with 'mytool' as a large heading above a rule, the intro paragraph, an 'Install' heading, a monospace code block on a tinted panel, and a bulleted usage list.

Common mistakes

  • Do not paste a whole long README into a fixed size such as 1200 × 675; the bottom is cropped. Use an Auto height preset or shorten the text.
  • Badge images and screenshots hosted on the web are not drawn into the PNG. A canvas that loads a cross-origin image cannot be exported, so each remote image becomes a placeholder line.
  • Text in the image is not selectable or searchable. Keep the Markdown source if people need to copy the commands.

FAQ

Does the image include my README badges?
No. Badges are images hosted on another domain. Drawing them would taint the canvas and block the PNG export, so the tool replaces each remote image with a short placeholder line and warns you.
Can I get the GitHub look?
Choose the GitHub theme. It uses a white background, GitHub's border colour, and an underline rule below H1 and H2 headings. Code blocks get a tinted panel in a monospace font.
Is my README uploaded anywhere?
No. Markdown parsing, styling, and PNG encoding all run in your browser tab. The text never leaves your device.
