Save image as base64 Leave feedback
By default, DocumentConvertOptions uses ExportImagesAsBase64Strategy, which embeds images as Base64 data URIs directly in the Markdown output. This keeps the output self-contained in a single file with no external image dependencies.
import com.groupdocs.markdown.*;
public class Base64Static {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Default behavior -- images are embedded as Base64
MarkdownConverter.toFile("business-plan.pdf", "base64-static.md");
}
}
business-plan.pdf is a sample file used in this example. Click here to download it.

If you want to be explicit, pass a new ExportImagesAsBase64Strategy to setImageExportStrategy:
import com.groupdocs.markdown.*;
public class Base64Explicit {
public static void main(String[] args) {
DocumentConvertOptions options = new DocumentConvertOptions();
options.setImageExportStrategy(new ExportImagesAsBase64Strategy());
try (MarkdownConverter converter = new MarkdownConverter("business-plan.pdf")) {
converter.convert("base64-explicit.md", options);
}
}
}
