    Save image as file

    Use ExportImagesToFileSystemStrategy to save images as separate files during conversion. The Markdown output will contain image references pointing to the exported files.

    Basic usage 

    using GroupDocs.Markdown;

var options = new ConvertOptions
{
    ImageExportStrategy = new ExportImagesToFileSystemStrategy("output/images")
};

MarkdownConverter.ToFile("business-plan.pdf", "output/document.md", options);

    business-plan.pdf is a sample file used in this example. Click here to download it.

    Using ImagesRelativePath

    By default, image references in the Markdown use the full ImagesFolder path. Set ImagesRelativePath to produce portable, relative image links:

    using GroupDocs.Markdown;

var strategy = new ExportImagesToFileSystemStrategy("output/images")
{
    ImagesRelativePath = "images"
};

var options = new ConvertOptions
{
    ImageExportStrategy = strategy
};

MarkdownConverter.ToFile("business-plan.pdf", "output/document.md", options);

// Markdown output contains: ![](images/img-001.png)
// Image file saved to:     output/images/img-001.png
