What image format do I get?

A high-resolution PNG with a transparent or coloured background that you can download and drop into slides, blog posts, or social media.

Is the code sent to a server?

No. The image is rendered from a canvas entirely in your browser, so your code snippet is never uploaded anywhere.

Can I change the look?

Yes. Choose a colour theme, adjust the padding, and add a language or filename label so the image matches your slides or brand.

Will indentation be preserved?

Yes. Whitespace and indentation are drawn exactly as pasted using a monospaced font, so the code reads correctly in the image.

Is the text in the image selectable?

No. The snippet is rendered as pixels, so the text cannot be selected or searched; for copyable code, accompany the image with a normal code block.

Does it add syntax highlighting colours?

The image uses a clean themed window with a single readable text colour; it focuses on framing and layout rather than per-token highlighting.

Will my indentation be preserved?

Yes. A monospaced font and preserved whitespace mean your spaces and tabs appear exactly as pasted in the final image.

How to use Code to Image Generator

The Code to Image generator turns a code snippet into a clean, shareable PNG. Paste your code, choose a colour theme and a window title, and download a high-resolution picture ready for tweets, slides, documentation, or blog posts. The image is rendered from a canvas entirely in your browser using a monospaced font that preserves your exact indentation, and your code is never uploaded.

Paste your code snippet into the input box.
Pick a colour theme and set the window title.
Check the live preview of the framed code.
Click "Download PNG" to save the high-resolution image.

Your data never leaves your device — 100% private processing.

Why an image instead of pasted text

Sharing code as an image keeps formatting and indentation intact across platforms that strip or reflow plain text, such as social networks and slide tools. A framed, themed image is also more eye-catching than raw text and avoids the risk of someone copying a snippet with hidden characters. The trade-off is that image text is not selectable or searchable, so for documentation where readers need to copy code, pair the image with a real code block.

Themes, framing, and resolution

Each theme combines a gradient backdrop with a dark or light code window and a traffic-light title bar reminiscent of a desktop editor. The image is captured at a higher pixel ratio so it stays crisp on retina displays and when scaled in presentations. Because rendering happens on an HTML canvas in your browser, you can tweak the title or theme and regenerate instantly without any round-trip to a server.

Worked examples

Frame a function

Inputs: Paste a 5-line function

Result: Themed window image with traffic-light bar

Set the title

Inputs: Window title: app.ts

Result: Filename label shown in the image header

Switch themes

Inputs: Choose the Ocean theme

Result: Gradient backdrop updates in the preview

Glossary

PNG: A lossless raster image format well suited to sharp text and graphics with solid colours.
Monospaced font: A typeface where every character has the same width, keeping code columns and indentation aligned.
Canvas: A browser drawing surface used to render graphics and export them as image data locally.
Pixel ratio: A multiplier that renders an image at higher resolution so it stays crisp on high-density screens.
