How to turn code into a shareable image
Snippet Studio renders a block of code as a styled card you can save as PNG or SVG, with syntax highlighting for JavaScript, TypeScript, JSX, Python, CSS, JSON, YAML, and CSV. The card is drawn as vector output in your browser tab, so the code never leaves the device and the exported SVG keeps its text crisp at any size.
Make a code image in four steps
- Paste your code and pick the languageType or paste into the source panel and choose the language so highlighting matches. Each language also has a sample you can drop in, and the tool asks before replacing code you already wrote.
- Style the cardChoose an editor theme and one of the background presets, then set the window chrome to macOS, Windows, or none. A filename can sit in the title bar.
- Tune the typography and frameSet font family, font size, padding, and corner radius, and toggle line numbers. The preview re-renders as you change each control, inside a sandboxed frame that cannot run scripts.
- Export PNG or SVGPNG suits chat, slides, and issue trackers. SVG stays sharp on any display and can be recoloured or scaled later. You can also copy the source code back out of the card.
What people use Snippet Studio for
- Illustrate a code review or a bug reportAttach a readable, highlighted image of the exact lines under discussion instead of an unformatted paste that loses indentation.
- Build slides and documentation figuresExport SVG so a snippet stays crisp when a deck is projected or a doc is printed, rather than blurring like a screenshot.
- Show formatted output from another toolContinue from Data Formatter with a formatted JSON, YAML, or CSV payload already loaded, and style it as a card in one step.
Snippet Studio questions
- Is my code uploaded anywhere?
- No. Highlighting and rendering run in your browser tab, and only your visual style settings can sync if you choose to save a preset. Source code, filename, the rendered image, and clipboard content stay local.
- Which languages get syntax highlighting?
- JavaScript, TypeScript, JSX, Python, CSS, JSON, YAML, and CSV. Anything else still renders as a card, falling back to general highlighting rather than failing.
- Should I export PNG or SVG?
- PNG is the safe choice wherever an image is pasted directly. SVG is vector, so it stays sharp at any zoom and in print, and its text remains real text inside the file.
- Is this a code editor?
- No. It is a presentation tool: there is no autocomplete, linting, or running your code. Write the code where you normally do and paste it here to make the image.
- Can it post the image to social networks?
- No. Snippet Studio only produces the file or clipboard image; sharing it is up to you, which also means nothing is published as a side effect of exporting.
- What happens to my draft if I reload?
- A local draft is restored on this device so a reload does not cost you the snippet, and undo and redo cover the edits you made in the session.
