Beautiful code, ready to share
Turn code into beautiful images.
Paste a snippet, pick a theme, and download a pixel-perfect, syntax-highlighted image — perfect for docs, tweets, slides and your own portfolio. Runs entirely in your browser.
Why share code as an image?
Instant clarity
A syntax-highlighted image lets readers grasp your code at a glance — no copy-pasting, no formatting mangled by the platform.
Fits anywhere
Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Slack, Notion and slides all degrade or strip code blocks. A crisp PNG keeps your snippet intact everywhere.
Your brand
Pick a theme and font that match your identity. A consistent look turns every snippet into a small piece of your portfolio.
Built for developers who present code publicly
Code2Image serves developers, technical writers, and educators who need to share source code outside of an IDE — in blog posts, slide decks, social threads, or documentation. Instead of pasting raw text that loses formatting and syntax colors, you capture a styled, readable snapshot. The tool handles language-specific highlighting, adjustable typography, and window chrome so your snippet looks intentional, not dumped. It is especially useful when targeting platforms that strip code formatting or render monospace text poorly.
From snippet to downloadable PNG
- Pick your Language and Theme to match the syntax highlighting style you need.
- Adjust Font size — 16 px and Padding — 40 px until the code breathes comfortably on screen.
- Open Options and toggle Window title bar, Line numbers, Rounded corners, or Signature watermark as desired.
- Fill in Window title and Signature fields if you enabled those display elements.
- Click Download PNG to save the finished code image to your device.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I turn code into an image?
Paste your code into the editor, pick a theme, language, font and padding, then click Download PNG. Code2Image renders a syntax-highlighted, pixel-perfect image of your snippet instantly in the browser.
Is Code2Image free to use?
Yes. Code2Image is completely free with no sign-up, no watermarks and no limits. It runs entirely in your browser, so there is nothing to install.
Does my code get uploaded or stored?
No. Everything runs 100% client-side. Your code never leaves your browser, making Code2Image safe for proprietary source code and private snippets.
What image formats can I export?
Code2Image exports high-resolution PNG images at 2x scale, so your snippets stay crisp on blogs, docs, Twitter/X, LinkedIn and slide decks.
Which programming languages are supported?
The highlighter supports JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, JSON, HTML and more. If you select a generic language, Code2Image still colorizes keywords, strings, numbers and comments cleanly.
Can I control the background and styling?
Yes. Pick from multiple code themes, adjust padding and font size, toggle a window title bar, choose a wallpaper gradient, and add your own signature watermark for a polished result.
Pick a theme or a language
Each page covers one export palette or one syntax language — the exact colour tokens and the contrast they reach, or the keywords the highlighter will recognise.
