remarkable_image
Render a reMarkable notebook page as an image to view hand-drawn diagrams, sketches, or annotated PDFs. Supports PNG and SVG output with optional OCR text extraction.
Instructions
Get an image of a specific page from a reMarkable document. Renders a notebook or document page as an image (PNG or SVG). This is useful for:
Viewing hand-drawn diagrams, sketches, or UI mockups
Getting visual context that text extraction might miss
Implementing designs based on hand-drawn wireframes
SVG format for scalable vector graphics that can be edited
Merged PDF + Annotation Rendering
Set render_merged=True to composite the PDF page with the annotation layer into a single image. This is ideal for annotated PDFs where the annotation-only render is hard to interpret without the printed page context. Only works with PNG format and documents that have a PDF underlay.
Response Formats
By default, images are returned as embedded resources (EmbeddedResource) which include the full image data inline:
PNG: Returned as BlobResourceContents with base64-encoded data
SVG: Returned as TextResourceContents with SVG markup
If your client doesn't support embedded resources in tool responses, set compatibility=True to receive a JSON response with just the resource URI. The client can then fetch the resource separately.
Optionally, enable include_ocr=True to extract text from the image using OCR. When REMARKABLE_OCR_BACKEND=sampling is set and the client supports sampling, the client's own LLM will be used for OCR (no API keys needed).
Note: This works best with notebooks and handwritten content. For PDFs/EPUBs, the annotations layer is rendered (not the underlying PDF content) unless render_merged=True is set.
document: Document name or path (use remarkable_browse to find documents)
page: Page number (default: 1, 1-indexed)
background: Background color as hex code. Supports RGB (#RRGGBB) or RGBA (#RRGGBBAA). Default is "#FBFBFB" (reMarkable paper color), or set REMARKABLE_BACKGROUND_COLOR env var to override. Use "#00000000" for transparent.
output_format: Output format - "png" (default) or "svg" for vector graphics
compatibility: If True, return resource URI in JSON instead of embedded resource. Use this if your client doesn't support embedded resources in tool responses.
include_ocr: Enable OCR text extraction from the image (default: False). When REMARKABLE_OCR_BACKEND=sampling, uses the client's LLM via MCP sampling.
render_merged: Composite PDF page + annotation layer into one image (default: False). Only works with PNG format and documents that have a PDF underlay.
