Markdown Exporter

Universal Converter Dify Plugin Open Source

Best for: LLM-generated Markdown that needs to be exported to office formats — Claude writes Markdown, Markdown Exporter converts it to PPTX, XLSX, DOCX, PDF, or PNG in one step

Not ideal for: Complex formatted spreadsheets or presentation design — Markdown's simplicity is both the strength and the limit; for native charts and data validation, use Kimi Office Skills or Excel MCP Server

Format breadth significantly higher than page previously indicated: 14 parser modules confirmed (pptx, xlsx, docx, pdf, png, csv, html, html_text, ipynb, json, latex, md, xml, codeblock). PyPI package available: pip install markdown-exporter is the simplest install. pypandoc-binary bundles the Pandoc binary — no separate brew install needed. Dify plugin integration is the primary use case (repo includes dify_plugin SDK); Claude Code users can install via PyPI or .claude-plugin/ directory. Note: export.py CLI shown in previous page version does not exist — correct syntax is markdown-exporter md_to_pptx --input file.md --output file.pptx.

Install & Use

# Option 1: PyPI (simplest)
pip install markdown-exporter

# Option 2: Clone + install (includes Dify plugin + .claude-plugin/)
git clone https://github.com/bowenliang123/markdown-exporter
pip install -r requirements.txt

# CLI usage (correct syntax):
markdown-exporter md_to_pptx --input report.md --output report.pptx
markdown-exporter md_to_xlsx --input data.md --output data.xlsx
markdown-exporter md_to_pdf --input doc.md --output doc.pdf
# Also: md_to_docx, md_to_png, md_to_csv, md_to_html, md_to_json, md_to_latex...
