What is it?

A code screenshot shows a piece of code as a polished image: with syntax colors, an editor window and an attractive background. It looks much better than a plain screenshot of your editor and is easy to read in social posts, slides and documentation.

What you can use it for

  • Social posts

    Share tips and snippets on LinkedIn, X or Mastodon as an image that stands out in the feed.

  • Slides and talks

    Large, clear code with highlighted lines is easy to follow on a projector.

  • Docs and blog posts

    A consistent look for every snippet in your article or README.

How it works

Paste your code, pick the language and enter a file name. Choose a color theme, the window and a background, and mark important lines if you like. Then download the image as PNG, JPG, WebP or SVG.

Tips

  • Keep it short: 5 to 20 lines read best in an image. Show the important part only.
  • Highlight the line that matters, for example the fix in a bug story.
  • Images cannot be copied. Always link the code as text as well, for people who use screen readers.

FAQ

Which languages are colored?
JavaScript, TypeScript, CSS, HTML, Python, JSON and shell. Other code works as plain text.
Is my code uploaded?
No. The image is drawn in your browser. Your code only travels in a share link if you create one.
Which font is used?
The monospace font of your system, for example SF Mono on a Mac or Consolas on Windows. No font is loaded from the internet.
Can I use the image commercially?
Yes. The image is yours, free of charge and without a watermark.
