Guide

How to turn code into an image

Use this code to image tool to turn a snippet into a clean picture for documentation, slide decks, blog posts, and social media, where raw pasted code looks messy or loses its formatting entirely. Syntax highlighting covers nineteen languages, and the image is rendered at double resolution so it stays sharp on retina screens.

  1. 1

    Paste your code

    Drop your snippet into the editor below the preview. Indentation and line breaks are preserved exactly as you wrote them.

  2. 2

    Choose the language

    Selecting the right language switches on proper syntax highlighting for keywords, strings, comments, and functions.

  3. 3

    Style the image

    Pick a background, adjust padding and font size, set the window title, and turn line numbers or the window bar on or off.

  4. 4

    Download or copy

    Export a PNG at double resolution, or copy the image straight to your clipboard and paste it into a post or document.

Sharing problems this tool solves

  • Pasting code into a social post strips the indentation and makes it unreadable.
  • Slide decks and PDFs need code that looks deliberate rather than pasted in a plain box.
  • Screenshots of an editor include unrelated interface clutter and personal information.
  • A blog needs a visual thumbnail of a snippet rather than another plain code block.
  • Cropped editor screenshots come out blurry when scaled up.

Frequently asked questions

How do I turn code into an image?

Paste the snippet, choose its language, adjust the background and padding, then download a PNG. The whole thing renders in your browser, so nothing is sent anywhere.

Which languages are supported?

Nineteen, including JavaScript, TypeScript, JSX, TSX, Python, Java, C, C++, C#, Go, Rust, Ruby, PHP, SQL, Bash, JSON, YAML, CSS, and HTML.

Is the exported image high resolution?

Yes. It renders at twice the on-screen size, so text stays crisp on retina displays and when a platform scales the image down.

Can I use these images commercially?

Yes. The image contains your own code, and this tool places no restrictions on the output. Use it in documentation, courses, articles, or client work.

Is my code sent to a server?

No. Highlighting and rendering both happen in your browser, so proprietary or unreleased code stays on your machine.
