MD What is MD File Format
Markdown is a lightweight markup language designed to indicate formatting in plain text. MD files use Markdown language that was proposed and developed by John Gruber. They include inline text characters that determine how text is formatted, such as indentation, table formatting, fonts, and headings. Its design allows it to be easily converted to many output formats, but initially, it was created to convert only to HTML. Markdown is often used as a format for documentation and readme files since it allows writing in an easy-to-read and easy-to-write style. In addition, MD files can be converted to HTML, PDF or images to take advantage of other formats for specific tasks.
Image What is Image File Format
There are two main types of digital image files – raster and vector. Popular types of raster images include JPEG, PNG, BMP, TIFF, and GIF file formats. A bitmap is a two-dimensional array that maps colors to pixels at a particular location. A raster image is a much larger file than a vector one. Raster formats are suitable for photographs or pictures with color gradients. But one of their main disadvantages is losing quality when scaling. Because the pixel number is fixed, raster images can become distorted or blurry when resized to fill a bigger or smaller space. Increasing the size of an image with too few pixels can cause pixelation, which isn’t usually desirable.
Other Supported MD Conversions
You can also convert MD to many other file formats:
