What is a Code Screenshot?
A code screenshot turns a snippet of source code into a styled image — with syntax highlighting, a code-editor look, and a polished background. Developers share them on social media, in presentations, and in documentation to make code visually clear and engaging. Tools like Carbon and Ray.so popularized the format; this generator gives you the same quality entirely in your browser, with no server uploads.
Everything runs 100% client-side using the Canvas API. You can choose from 6 editor themes (Dracula, VS Code Dark, One Dark, Night Owl, GitHub Light, Solarized Light), 12 gradient backgrounds, customize fonts, padding, shadows, line numbers, and window chrome — and export up to 2× Retina resolution as PNG or copy directly to your clipboard.
