Markdown → Standalone HTML (Embedded Images)

Overview

Convert any Markdown file into a single self-contained HTML document with all images embedded as base64 data URIs. No external hosting required—the output is a single

.html
file that works offline.

Requirements

  • pandoc
    — Markdown → HTML conversion
  • ruby
    — Script execution

Both must be on your

PATH
. The script checks and exits with a clear error if missing.

Workflow

  1. Prepare your Markdown — Any
    .md
    file with images (local paths or public URLs)
  2. Run the conversion script with the Markdown file, title, and output path
  3. Resolve images — If images can't be found locally, you'll be prompted for a file path or URL
  4. Get your HTML — A single
    .html
    file with all images embedded, ready to share

Image Resolution

For each image in your Markdown:

  1. Relative path — Resolved relative to the Markdown file's directory
  2. Absolute path — Used as-is if it exists
  3. Public URL (
    http://
    or
    https://
    ) — Downloaded to temp directory, embedded, then cleaned up
  4. Unresolved — You're prompted to provide a local file path or URL

All images in the final HTML are base64-encoded and embedded directly—no external dependencies.

Limitations

  • Only rewrites
    <img src="">
    tags (not CSS
    background-image
    URLs)
  • Does not guess missing images; prompts interactively instead
  • Untrusted SVG can contain scripts—review embedded SVG carefully
