How this Code to Image Converter works

This screenshot generator transforms source code into visually stunning images optimized for social media sharing, technical documentation, and presentations. The tool renders code with syntax highlighting using professional color themes including Monokai, Dracula, Nord, GitHub Dark, and VS Code Dark, matching popular IDE aesthetics developers recognize.

Customization options include gradient backgrounds (purple, ocean, sunset, forest, midnight) or solid colors, adjustable padding (16-64px), font sizes (10-20px), and optional window controls mimicking macOS terminal styling. Line numbers, file name display, and drop shadows add professional finishing touches.

The export engine uses html2canvas library to capture the rendered code as 2x resolution PNG images, ensuring crisp display on high-DPI retina screens and social media platforms. Syntax highlighting applies basic pattern matching for keywords, strings, comments, and numbers across 20+ programming languages. All rendering occurs client-side—proprietary code snippets never upload to external servers.
