Everything you need to know about using this tool effectively

What is Markdown Image Extractor?

The Markdown Image Extractor parses Markdown text and finds all image references using the ![alt](url) syntax. It lists each image with its alt text and URL, counts the total images, and lets you copy the extracted URLs. All processing happens in the browser.

This tool uses regex to match the ![alt](url) pattern in Markdown text and extracts the alt text and URL from each match. It also matches HTML img tags.
