Code to Image Converter — Free Code Screenshot Generator

Code to Image Converter — Free Code Screenshot Generator. Free code to image converter: turn code snippets into beautiful, syntax-highlighted screenshots.

Auto-detect 25+ languages, pick one of 7 themes and a monospace font, add line numbers, choose a background and export PNG or SVG, or copy the image.

Paste a snippet and this free code to image converter turns it into a polished, syntax-highlighted picture in seconds.

Choose from 25+ languages — JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Go, Rust, SQL, Bash, HTML, CSS and more — or let auto-detect pick the grammar for you.

Pick one of seven syntax themes (Tokyo Night, Dracula, One Dark, Monokai, Solarized Dark, Solarized Light and GitHub Light) and a monospace font, frame your code in a macOS-style window with traffic-light buttons and a file name, add optional line numbers, and set the padding, font size and corner radius.

The result is a clean code screenshot that reads well on Twitter/X, LinkedIn, dev.to, slide decks and documentation, without the blurry crops of a real screen capture.

As a code screenshot generator, it gives you the export options people usually look for in Carbon or ray.so: download a crisp PNG at 1x–4x resolution for retina screens, export a scalable SVG for print and presentations, or copy the image straight to your clipboard and paste it into chat, email or a design tool.

Pick one of the gradient backgrounds, a plain white card or a transparent background for overlays. The share button creates a link that restores your code and every style setting, so teammates can tweak the same code image instead of starting over.

Your source code never leaves your browser: highlighting and image rendering happen locally, so private repositories, API keys you forgot to redact and unreleased features are not uploaded anywhere.

To tidy markup before you convert code to image, run it through the HTML Formatter first; to put a snapshot on another picture use Add Text to Image, and for placeholder graphics try the SVG Placeholder Generator or the QR Code Generator.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert code to an image with this tool?

Paste or type your code into the source code box (or click Load sample), choose the language, a Theme such as Dracula or Solarized Light, a Font Family and a background swatch, and adjust padding, font size and corner radius. The preview updates live; click Download PNG, Download SVG or Copy image to export it.

Which programming languages can I highlight in a code screenshot?

The Language list includes JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java, C, C++, C#, Go, Rust, PHP, Ruby, Kotlin, Swift, Dart, HTML, CSS, SCSS, JSON, YAML, XML, SQL, Bash, PowerShell, Dockerfile, Markdown and plain text. Choose Auto-detect to let the highlighter guess; the detected language is shown under the list.

How do I get a sharp, high-resolution code image?

Set Export resolution to 2x, 3x or 4x before downloading the PNG (2x is the default); 3x or 4x keeps text crisp on retina screens and slides. Download SVG gives an image that scales in browsers, but some design apps do not render SVGs that embed HTML, so use a large PNG there.

Can I make a code screenshot with a transparent background?

Yes. In Background Style, pick the checkered Transparent swatch and download a PNG: the area around the code window becomes transparent while the dark code window stays solid. A plain White background and eight gradients (Candy, Midnight, Sunset, Ocean and more) are also available.

How do I add line numbers or a file name, or hide the window buttons?

Tick Line numbers to number every line. Type a name in Window Title / Filename to show it in the title bar; it is also used for the download file name. Untick Show Window Controls to remove the red, yellow and green macOS-style buttons.

Why does Copy image not work in my browser?

Copying an image needs the Clipboard API with image support, which some browsers or insecure (non-HTTPS) pages do not provide, so an export error is shown. Use Download PNG instead. Your code is rendered locally and not uploaded, but Copy link puts the code into the share URL.

How to use this online tool
