Code Screenshot
Turn code or JSON into a beautiful, shareable image. Export as PNG or copy to your clipboard.
The Code Screenshot generator turns code or JSON into a beautiful, shareable image — 12 gradient and solid backgrounds, an optional macOS-style window bar, light or dark themes, line numbers and adjustable font size. Export at 1x, 2x or 3x as a PNG, or copy it straight to your clipboard for Twitter/X, LinkedIn, slides and docs.
- ✓12 gradient & solid backgrounds (plus transparent)
- ✓Toggle window bar, line numbers and light/dark theme
- ✓Adjustable font size and 1x/2x/3x export scale
- ✓Export PNG or copy to clipboard — 100% private
Make Code Look Great to Share
Paste any code or JSON, then make it yours: choose from 12 gradient and solid backgrounds (or transparent), toggle the macOS-style window bar and line numbers, switch between light and dark code themes, and set the font size. Export at 1x, 2x or 3x pixel density as a PNG, or copy the image straight to your clipboard — perfect for Twitter/X, LinkedIn, blog posts and slides. Everything is rendered locally in your browser.
How to Use It
- 1Paste your code or JSON snippet into the editor.
- 2Pick a background from the 12 gradient/solid presets, or transparent for pasting onto an existing design.
- 3Toggle the window bar and line numbers, switch light/dark theme, and adjust the font size until it reads well.
- 4Set the export scale — 2x or 3x for anything going into a retina-display slide, blog post, or high-DPI screen.
- 5Download as PNG, or copy straight to your clipboard and paste into a tweet, Slack message, or doc.
What Makes a Code Screenshot Look Professional
The details that separate a polished code screenshot from a plain terminal capture: consistent padding around the code so it doesn't feel cramped, a subtle background gradient rather than a flat color (adds depth without distracting from the code), a window bar that signals "this is a code editor" at a glance, and syntax highlighting that preserves the actual token structure — keywords, strings, comments — rather than just coloring text arbitrarily. Line numbers help when you're referencing a specific line in surrounding text ("see line 12"); turn them off for a cleaner look when the snippet is short enough to read at a glance.
Common Uses
- ▸Social media — Share a code snippet on X/Twitter or LinkedIn that looks like a designed graphic, not a plain screenshot.
- ▸Blog posts and documentation — Give a code example visual weight and consistency across a series of posts.
- ▸Slides and presentations — Export at 2x or 3x so code stays crisp when projected or viewed on a high-DPI display.
- ▸Pull request descriptions — Highlight the key change with a clean, readable image instead of a raw diff screenshot.
- ▸Sharing formatted JSON — Format a payload with the JSON Formatter first, then turn it into a shareable image for a report or ticket.
