About Code Screenshot
Confileo's Code Screenshot tool turns a snippet of code into a beautiful, shareable image. Everything runs in your browser, free and without signup, and nothing is uploaded.
Sharing code as plain text on social media or in slides looks messy and loses its highlighting. A clean code image reads far better and looks professional.
Confileo's Code Screenshot tool turns any snippet into a polished image with syntax highlighting for all popular languages and a choice of themes — perfect for Twitter/LinkedIn posts, documentation, slides and technical articles. Indentation and formatting stay exactly as in your editor.
A plain screenshot of your editor carries everything you did not mean to share: the file tree, tab names, branch indicators, notifications, whatever theme you happen to run. Rendering the snippet on its own gives a clean image where the only thing on screen is the code, at a size that stays readable when a platform scales it down.
Syntax highlighting matters more in an image than in an editor. In an editor the reader can scroll, search and click through; in an image the colouring is the only structure they get, so it does the whole job of separating a string from a keyword from a comment.
Where this is used, in order of frequency: slide decks and lecture material, where pasted text loses its formatting; documentation and blog posts that need a figure rather than a copyable block; social posts and threads, where code as text collapses into an unreadable run; and pull-request or bug-report discussions where a rendered snippet is quicker to read than a diff.
One rule worth stating plainly: check the snippet before you export. An API key, a token, a connection string or an internal hostname left in a code image is far harder to retract than the same string in a message — screenshots get re-shared, quoted and indexed, and unlike text they are not searchable enough for you to find them again later.

Code Screenshot — Frequently asked questions
Does it support my language?
Syntax highlighting covers all the popular programming languages.
Where can I use the image?
Perfect for blog posts, slides, documentation and social media.
How do I turn a code snippet into a nice image?
Paste the code, pick a theme and language, and download a polished image ready to share in seconds.
Can I change the colours and background of the image?
Yes. Choose from multiple themes to match your blog, slides or social accounts.
Does it keep the code's spacing and formatting?
Yes. Indentation and syntax highlighting stay exactly as in your editor.
What is the best use for code images?
Twitter/LinkedIn posts, presentation slides, documentation and technical articles where code does not display well as plain text.
How do I turn source code into an image?
Paste the code, pick the language and a colour theme, then download the image — with proper syntax highlighting instead of a blurry screen capture.
Which programming languages are highlighted?
Ten: JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML, CSS, SCSS, JSON, Python, Java, C# and Bash. Highlighting follows the language you select.
Why not just take a screenshot?
A screenshot inherits your zoom level and screen resolution, so it turns soft on other displays and drags in editor chrome — sidebars, tabs, your file names. This renders the code cleanly at a consistent quality with none of that.
What are code images used for?
Posts on LinkedIn or X, slide decks, documentation and teaching material — anywhere formatted code is not supported and an image is the only way to keep it readable.
Does the code stay readable when the image is scaled down?
The image is rendered at high resolution so it holds up when displayed smaller. Very long lines are still worth wrapping before you export.
Is my code stored anywhere?
No. What you paste is used to render the image and is not kept or shared.
Is this tool really free?
You can try it free: 50 credits without an account and 300 with a free account, renewed on the 1st of every month. Every tool uses credits — file tools 3 per file and the heavy ones 12. No watermark, no credit card. Beyond the monthly credits, Pro gives open use with no credits to count, or you can buy a credit pack.
Do I need to create an account?
No. You can use the tool straight away without signing up or logging in.
Are my files safe and private?
Yes. A file sent to our servers travels over an encrypted HTTPS connection and is deleted automatically after processing; tools that work in your browser never upload it. We don't open, read or sell your files.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. The tool runs in any modern browser, so it works the same on desktop, tablet and mobile with nothing to install.
