Code Screenshot Generator
Stop cropping your IDE: this code screenshot generator produces a clean, windowed screenshot of any snippet straight from pasted text — no stray tabs, no debugger panels, no half-cut sidebar. Pick a theme and padding once and every screenshot in your article or deck comes out identical, rendered locally and exported as a 2× PNG.

How to use this tool
-
Paste instead of cropping
Copy the exact lines you need from your editor and paste them here — you screenshot the code, not your whole workspace.
-
Keep a consistent style
Choose the theme, padding and line-number setting once; reuse the same settings for every snippet so a tutorial or README series looks uniform.
-
Export and reuse
Download the PNG at 2× or copy it to the clipboard — ideal for docs, slide decks, issue reports and blog posts.
Questions people ask
Why generate a code screenshot instead of cropping my editor?
Editor crops carry noise — breakpoints, git gutters, minimaps, mismatched zoom levels — and every crop is a slightly different width. Generating from pasted text gives you identical framing, theme and font size across every screenshot in a series.
Do the screenshots stay readable on a projector or phone?
Yes — the export renders at 2× with a real monospace stack and generous line height. Keep snippets under ~25 lines and 80 columns and they stay legible even in a compressed conference stream.
Can I use it for bug reports and code reviews?
Absolutely — paste the offending function, add the filename in the title bar, and attach the PNG. Since rendering is local, snippets from proprietary code never leave your machine.
Which languages does the highlighter know?
JavaScript, PHP, Python, HTML, CSS, SQL and JSON. Anything else still renders cleanly in plain monochrome — the window, padding and export quality do not depend on highlighting.
Does it work offline?
Once the page has loaded, yes — highlighting and rendering are plain JavaScript and canvas with no server round-trips, so you can keep generating screenshots on a train.
