Code Screenshot Generator
The Code Screenshot tool turns any pasted code snippet into a polished image ready to share on X, LinkedIn, or anywhere else: automatic syntax highlighting by language (JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, JSON, CSS, HTML, Bash), a gradient background you pick from a ready-made set, padding around the code, rounded corners, a soft realistic shadow, and a colored-dot title bar with an optional filename. The preview updates live as you type, and the final export is a high-resolution (2x) PNG. All processing happens in your browser — your code is never uploaded to a server.
Your code is processed entirely in your browser; it is never uploaded to a server.
Paste some code, pick a language, background, and title bar, and download a polished image ready to share on X or LinkedIn — all inside your browser.
Syntax highlighting here is a small built-in tokenizer covering the common cases (keywords, strings, comments, numbers), not a full parser for every language — it may not be 100% accurate on complex or rare syntax.

What this tool does
Turns a snippet of code into a polished image with syntax highlighting, a background, padding, rounded corners, a shadow and an optional window frame.
When to use it
- Sharing a code snippet on social media.
- Putting code into a presentation or an article.
- Documenting a programming example attractively.
- Sharing code somewhere no text formatting is available.
How to use it
- Paste the code into the field and choose the "Language".
- Set the background, padding, radius and shadow, and enable the frame with a title if you want one.
- Download the image.
A practical example
Input
A short function with a window frame and a title.
Output
An image of the syntax-highlighted code inside a window frame with a background and a shadow.
Limitations
- The output is an image: the code cannot be copied from it, searched, or read by a screen reader — so wherever you can share code as text, text is always better.
- Long snippets produce a tall image that is hard to read on small screens.
- Highlighting supports the listed languages; an unsupported one renders unhighlighted.
- Check the code for keys or sensitive data before sharing.
Privacy and processing
Your code is processed entirely in your browser and is never uploaded to a server.
Technical notes
- Highlighting and rendering both happen locally, so the code is never sent to an external highlighting service the way some comparable tools do.
