Share Code Snippets
Create beautiful, themed code snippet images for sharing. Multiple themes, customizable styling, and instant PNG export.
About Share Code Snippets
Share Code Snippets is a browser-based tool that transforms raw source code into beautifully styled, shareable images. You paste code on the left, choose from six editor themes (Dark, Dracula, Monokai, GitHub, Solarized, or Light), set the language label, adjust font size, inner padding, and corner radius, then toggle the macOS-style traffic-light title bar and line numbers on or off. The live preview updates instantly and a single click exports a 2x-scale PNG ready for posting.
The tool is built for the moments when plain monospace on a white slide is not enough: you need code that looks as good as the rest of your design. A Dracula-themed JavaScript snippet with tight padding and rounded corners reads as a deliberately composed graphic, not an afterthought. Unlike an online text editor or a Markdown editor, the output here is a raster image, not text — the goal is visual communication, not editing or storing code.
All image generation runs entirely in your browser via html2canvas. Nothing is uploaded or logged, so proprietary algorithms, interview answers, and client work remain on your machine. There is no sign-up, no watermark, and no usage limit.
Key Features
Six built-in themes
Choose between Dark, Light, Monokai, Dracula, GitHub, and Solarized. Each theme ships with carefully matched title bar, line-number, and border colors so the whole card looks cohesive.
Adjustable layout controls
Slide font size (14–24 px), inner padding (16–64 px), and corner radius (0–24 px) to produce a card that fits your slide, blog post, or social media crop precisely.
macOS-style title bar
Toggle the traffic-light dots and language label on or off. Keeping it on gives the card the familiar IDE look that audiences recognize instantly; hiding it produces a minimal, borderless style.
Optional line numbers
Show or hide per-line numbering. Line numbers help readers follow a walkthrough step-by-step; turning them off keeps short snippets uncluttered.
2x retina PNG export
html2canvas renders at double pixel density, so the exported image stays crisp on high-DPI screens and looks sharp when embedded in presentations or pinned to social timelines.
Client-side, no upload
The entire rendering pipeline runs locally in your browser. Confidential code, work-in-progress algorithms, and any proprietary logic never leave your device.
How to Use
Paste Your Code
Type or paste your source code into the input pane on the left. The preview updates in real time.
Customize Appearance
Select a theme, language label, font size, padding, and toggle the title bar or line numbers to match your style.
Export or Copy
Click "Export as Image" to download a high-resolution PNG, or use "Copy Code" to grab the plain text.
Example
Paste a JavaScript function, choose the Dracula theme, enable the title bar and line numbers, then export — the PNG shows a card with gradient background, traffic-light dots, and line-numbered code.
function debounce(fn, delay) {
let timer;
return function (...args) {
clearTimeout(timer);
timer = setTimeout(() => fn.apply(this, args), delay);
};
} [PNG image — 680 px wide, 2x scale]

Social media developer content
Twitter/X, LinkedIn, and Instagram do not render code blocks. Converting a snippet to a styled PNG card lets you share a function, algorithm, or one-liner without losing formatting — and the card gets far higher engagement than a screenshot from an IDE.

Conference slides and webinars
Slide decks need images, not live text. Export a themed snippet card sized to fit your slide, then drop it in as an image so fonts and colors stay consistent across every viewer machine regardless of which fonts they have installed.

Technical blog posts and documentation
When a code block in Markdown is too plain or a screenshot from VS Code includes distraction from status bars, export just the snippet with a clean gradient background. The image embeds anywhere and does not require syntax-highlight CSS.

Interview prep and study notes
Creating flashcards or annotated study sheets? Export a labeled snippet card for each algorithm pattern — the language label, line numbers, and theme help group related cards visually without any extra design work.

Teaching and tutorial screencasts
When recording a video, a themed code card placed against a slide background is easier to read than a raw editor pane. Export one card per step of the tutorial and drop them into your video editor as overlay images.
