How to Create Code Screenshots
Code Screenshot turns your source code into beautiful, shareable images — with syntax highlighting, custom backgrounds, and padding.
- Paste your code into the editor and select the programming language.
- Customize the theme, background colour, padding, and font size.
- Click Export to download the image as PNG or copy it to your clipboard.
Why Use Code Screenshots?
Code screenshots are widely used on social media (Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Instagram), in documentation, presentations, and blog posts. Unlike plain text, a styled code image preserves exact formatting, syntax colors, and visual context. They are eye-catching and easier to share than raw text blocks.
Why Use Our Code Screenshot Tool?
- 30+ languages — syntax highlighting for all major languages.
- Custom themes — dark, light, and vibrant background options.
- High-resolution export — PNG output suitable for retina displays.
- No watermark — unlike many competing tools.
Frequently Asked Questions
What languages are supported?
JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Go, Rust, Java, C++, HTML, CSS, SQL, and 20+ more. The language selector controls syntax highlighting.
Can I change the background colour?
Yes. Choose from preset gradients or set a custom background colour to match your brand or presentation.
Is there a line limit?
There is no hard limit, but screenshots work best with 5–30 lines. Very long code blocks produce tall images that may not display well on social media.
Is my code sent to a server?
No. The screenshot is generated entirely in your browser using HTML Canvas.
