Theme: Simplifying Control Flow with Guard Clauses
Use guard clauses to eliminate deep nesting and improve function readability:
// Clean: Early return guard clause pattern
function processOrder(order: Order): boolean {
if (!order.isValid) return false;
if (!order.isPaymentConfirmed) return false;
if (order.isExpired) return false;
return fulfillOrder(order);

Known Limitations of Markdown to Image
What this converter does not do (yet), and what to do instead.
- Output is PNG only, and it is downloaded rather than copied to the clipboard. Convert the PNG with an image editor if you need JPG or WebP.
- Code blocks have no syntax colours in the image. Use a dedicated code-screenshot tool when colour highlighting matters.
- The 16:9, square and story formats crop content that doesn’t fit. Keep those cards short or use the "Entire Document" size.
- Images from other websites only appear if their server allows cross-origin loading; otherwise they are left blank.
- Text in an image can’t be searched, selected or read by screen readers. Add alt text when posting and share code as text as well.
- LaTeX math and Mermaid diagrams are not rendered; they appear as plain text or code.

Pro Tips & Edge Cases Handled for Markdown to Image
Practical advice for achieving high-fidelity conversions and resolving syntax edge cases.
Developer Pro Tips
- Pick a background in the image options: several gradients, white, slate, or none for a plain document look.
- Use the size presets (16:9 card, 1:1 square, 9:16 story) for social posts; content that doesn’t fit is cropped, so keep these cards short.
- Choose "Entire Document" when you want the whole Markdown in one tall image.
- Keep code snippets to about 15–20 lines so the text stays legible on phones.
