MarkDump

English | 中文

MarkDump is a handy VS Code extension that automatically detects image links in Markdown documents, downloads them, and stores them in an img folder within the document's directory. It also renames the images sequentially (e.g., 01.png, 02.png, 03.png) and replaces the original links in the Markdown file with the local paths.

Features

• Automatically detects image links in Markdown documents (supports HTTP/HTTPS links).
• Downloads images to an img folder in the document's directory.
• Renames the images sequentially (e.g., 01.png, 02.jpg).
• Replaces the Markdown document's image links with local paths.
