Image to Markdown OCR
Convert JPG and PNG images into structured Markdown with KolmoPDF’s visual parser. It handles screenshots of articles, photographed whiteboards, charts, diagrams, and handwritten notes — preserving structure, recognizing formulas, and producing clean output ready for note-taking and knowledge bases.
Key capabilities
- Screenshot parsing including code blocks and inline syntax.
- Chart and diagram recognition with captions preserved.
- Handwritten note OCR with mathematical symbol support.
- Multilingual character recognition across 8 supported languages.
- Markdown output that integrates with downstream translation and formatting tools.
Common use cases
Students transcribe lecture board photos into searchable notes. Engineers turn architecture diagram screenshots into wiki entries. Researchers parse figure captions into reference databases. Translators feed image OCR output directly into translation memory.
Math OCR and image to LaTeX
Math OCR here means converting a photo or screenshot of equations into LaTeX you can paste into Markdown, Overleaf, or a note app. It also covers latex ocr, equation ocr, and handwritten equation to latex — a full page of notes or a whiteboard, not a single cropped glyph.
- Photograph a whiteboard, notebook, or paper with equations.
- Upload a JPG or PNG (screenshots of papers work too).
- Get Markdown with $ / $$ LaTeX, plus tables if they are in the image.
- This is not an exam-paper OCR product — we do not target past papers or test dumps.
Frequently asked questions
Is this math OCR / latex ocr?
Yes. Equations in photos and screenshots are emitted as LaTeX in the Markdown. Handwritten equation to latex is supported when the writing is reasonably clear.
Do you OCR exam papers or past papers?
No. This tool is for notes, whiteboards, figures, and technical screenshots — not bulk exam-paper extraction.
What images work best?
High-resolution photos and screenshots of any source — articles, whiteboards, charts, handwriting.
How much per image?
Image parsing costs 1 credit per image regardless of size.
Are formulas recognized?
Yes. Inline and standalone formulas are output as LaTeX in the Markdown.
