Class ExportImagesAsBase64Strategy

java.lang.Object

com.groupdocs.markdown.ExportImagesAsBase64Strategy

All Implemented Interfaces:

IImageExportStrategy

public class ExportImagesAsBase64Strategy
extends Object
implements IImageExportStrategy

Implements an image export strategy that embeds images as Base64 strings directly in the Markdown.

This strategy converts all images to Base64 format and embeds them directly in the Markdown document using the data URI scheme. This eliminates the need for separate image files, making the Markdown document self-contained. However, this approach increases the size of the Markdown file and may not be supported by all Markdown viewers.

Example:

 MarkdownConversionOptions options = new MarkdownConversionOptions();
 options.setImageExportStrategy(new ExportImagesAsBase64Strategy());

 // Convert document with embedded Base64 images
 String markdown = MarkdownConverter.convert("document.docx", options);
 // The markdown will contain embedded images like:
 // ![](data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAA...)
