FAQ
What themes are available?
The tool includes 6 popular themes: Dracula, Monokai, GitHub Dark, GitHub Light, Nord, and One Dark. Each theme provides carefully crafted syntax highlighting colors that match the original editor themes.
Which programming languages are supported?
The tool supports 12 languages: JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java, Go, Rust, CSS, HTML, JSON, YAML, SQL, and Shell. Each language has its own tokenizer for accurate keyword, string, comment, and function highlighting.
Can I customize the background?
Yes, you can choose from 5 gradient presets (Oceanic, Sunset, Midnight, Forest, Lavender) or set a transparent background. You can also adjust padding and border radius for the perfect look.
How does the export work?
The screenshot is rendered using the HTML Canvas API at your device's native pixel density for crisp, high-resolution output. You can download it as a PNG file or copy it directly to your clipboard for quick sharing.
Is my code sent to any server?
No, absolutely not. All processing happens entirely in your browser. Your code never leaves your device. The screenshot is generated client-side using the Canvas API, making it completely private and secure.
Does this tool work offline?
Once the page has loaded, the tool works entirely in your browser without needing an internet connection. All rendering and syntax highlighting is done client-side using JavaScript.
What resolution are the exported images?
The images are exported at your device's native pixel density (typically 2x on Retina displays). This ensures the screenshots look sharp and crisp when shared on social media, embedded in documentation, or used in presentations.
