# Image to Markdown - OCR Extract Text from Images Extract text from images to Markdown using MinerU Open API. No API key required. ## Quick Start ```bash # Extract text from a local image mineru-open-api flash-extract screenshot.png # Extract text from an image URL (no download needed) mineru-open-api flash-extract https://example.com/image.png # Save to file mineru-open-api flash-extract photo.jpg -o ./output/ # Specify language for better accuracy mineru-open-api flash-extract scan.jpg --language en ``` ## Language Rule You MUST reply to the user in the SAME language they use. This is non-negotiable. ## Capabilities - OCR text extraction from PNG, JPG, JPEG, WebP, BMP, TIFF - Supports both local files and URLs directly - Language hint with `--language` (default: `ch`, use `en` for English) - No API key, no signup, no authentication - Max 10MB per image ## When to Use - User asks to "read", "extract", or "OCR" an image - User shares a screenshot and asks what it says - User wants text from a photo of a document or whiteboard - User needs image content converted to Markdown ## CLI Reference Run `mineru-open-api flash-extract --help` for all available options. ## Data Privacy - `flash-extract` uploads the image to MinerU's cloud API for processing and returns the result. No account or API key is required. - Images are processed in real-time and are not stored after extraction. - For details, see https://mineru.net ## Notes - Output is Markdown text extracted via OCR - For higher precision or batch processing, use `mineru-open-api extract` (requires auth via `mineru-open-api auth`) - If the CLI cannot be installed via npm/uv/go, download it from https://mineru.net/ecosystem?tab=cli
