Download and convert all online images to local images in markdown files.

Markdown-ImageLocalize

中文README

This code is adapted from Img_link_to_local_markdown

This is a python script that scans all the markdown files of a folder looking for images links, and substitutes the urls of the markdown files for local file names, and download the images.

Why?🛠️

Offline markdown files are a reliable way to store and organize information. When copying from the web the text is copied directly, but images are copied as links. If the link expires in the future, or you are offline, you lose the information. It would be great to have every picture added as a link downloaded to local storage.

Features⭐

• Support both <img> and ![]() labels.

• Add more options to custom the behaviors(e.g. whether to modify source markdown files).

• Download images in Async mode, which performs well to decrease exec time:

  vanilla code	async code
  28.420s	5.236s

• Support loop traversal of markdown files.

Usage🚀

1. Install Python on your computer.
2. Clone this Repo git clone https://github.com/YellowAndGreen/Md-ImgLocalize.git.
3. Install aiohttp pip install aiohttp .
4. Change to the Repo's directory and run python main.py --md_path=[md_path]:
   • specify md_path as your markdown files directory
   • use --log to save log file
   • use --modify_source to modify source markdown files directly, this option create image folders under markdown file directory

What image extensions are searched?

Png, jpg, jpeg, gif, bmp, and svg, because these are the ones Obsidian currently supports.

Feel free to add more if you need, editing this portion of the regex pattern "png|jpg|jpeg|gif|bmp|svg".
