Code to Image

Turn a code snippet into a shareable image with syntax highlighting — rendered entirely in your browser.

Preview

snippet.js
export async function fetchUser(id) {
  const response = await fetch(`/api/users/${id}`);

  if (!response.ok) {
    throw new Error(`Request failed: ${response.status}`);
  }

  return response.json();
}
  • Exported at 2× pixel ratio, so the result stays sharp on high-DPI screens and in slide decks.
  • Rendering happens in your browser via canvas — your code is never uploaded.
  • “Copy image” needs clipboard image support; Safari and older browsers may need Download instead.
  • Long lines are not wrapped, so the image grows sideways — shorten them before exporting if the result is too wide.

100% Client-Side

Code to Image turns a snippet into a presentable picture — syntax highlighted, optionally framed in window chrome with a filename, on a gradient or transparent background. It is for the places code has to travel as an image rather than text: slide decks, social posts, documentation headers, and issue threads.

Export happens at twice the on-screen resolution so the result stays sharp when scaled up in a presentation or viewed on a high-DPI screen, and you can either download the PNG or copy it straight to the clipboard. Everything — highlighting and canvas rendering alike — happens locally in your browser, so proprietary code is safe to paste. One practical note: lines are deliberately not wrapped, since re-flowing code changes how it reads, so the image widens to fit the longest line.

FAQ

Download PNG saves a file, or Copy image puts it straight on your clipboard to paste into Slack, a doc, or a slide. Both render the preview exactly as shown.

Long lines are not wrapped, because wrapping code changes how it reads. The image grows to fit the longest line — break long lines in the snippet before exporting if the result is unwieldy.

Yes. It renders at twice the on-screen size, so it stays sharp on high-DPI displays and when scaled up in a presentation.

Writing images to the clipboard requires the async Clipboard API with image support, which some browsers restrict or omit. Download PNG works everywhere.

The grammars this site already loads — JavaScript, JSON, HTML, CSS, SCSS, Python, Go, Java, SQL, Bash, YAML, TOML, Markdown, and Clojure. Anything else can be rendered as plain text.

No. Highlighting and image rendering both happen locally in your browser, so it is safe to screenshot proprietary code.
