Aim for 5 to 25 lines that demonstrate a single concept clearly. - Use a dark theme like Dracula or One Dark for social media posts since they stand out better in feeds. - Add a descriptive title in the window bar so viewers immediately know what the code does. - Increase padding for a more polished look, especially when the image will be displayed on a colored background. - Match the theme to your brand or blog design for a consistent visual identity across all your content. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What themes are available? We offer six popular code editor themes: Dracula (dark purple), Monokai (dark with vibrant colors), GitHub (light), Nord (cool blue-gray), One Dark (Atom's default), and Solarized (precision colors). Each theme includes carefully selected colors for syntax highlighting that match their original implementations. ### Which programming languages are supported? We support syntax highlighting for JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, HTML, CSS, JSON, Markdown, Bash/Shell, SQL, PHP, Java, Go, Rust, and plain text. The highlighter recognizes keywords, strings, numbers, comments, and function calls for each language. ### Can I customize the appearance? Yes! You can customize the window style (macOS, Windows, or none), show/hide line numbers, adjust font size and padding, choose from multiple gradient and solid color backgrounds, and add an optional title to the window bar. All changes are reflected in real-time in the preview. ### What image formats can I export? Screenshots are exported as high-resolution PNG images at 2x scale for crisp display on retina screens. You can either download the image file directly or copy it to your clipboard for immediate pasting into other applications. ### Is my code processed on a server? No, all code processing and image generation happens entirely in your browser. Your code is never sent to any server, making it safe to use with proprietary or sensitive code snippets. ### Does this tool require a signup? No. The Code Screenshot Generator is available with no signup required, no watermarks, and unlimited usage. All processing happens client-side in your browser, so there are no server costs or usage restrictions. ### What is the best alternative to Carbon for code screenshots? FindUtils Code Screenshot Generator is a strong alternative to Carbon. It offers similar features including multiple themes, language support, and window styles, but runs entirely in your browser with no account required and no data sent to external servers. ### Can I use the generated images commercially? Absolutely. The screenshots you create are yours to use however you like, including in commercial projects, blog posts, paid courses, documentation, and marketing materials. There are no licensing restrictions on the output images. ### How do I get the best quality code screenshots? For the sharpest results, use the 2x export scale (enabled by default), choose a theme with good contrast like Dracula or One Dark, set the font size to at least 14px, and use generous padding. The PNG format preserves text sharpness better than JPEG for code images. ### Does it work on mobile devices? Yes, the tool works on mobile browsers. You can paste code, customize settings, and download the generated screenshot image. For the best experience, a desktop or tablet screen is recommended since you can see the full preview alongside the settings panel. ## Related Tools - [JSON Formatter](https://findutils.com/developers/json-formatter/) - [HTML Formatter](https://findutils.com/developers/html-formatter/) - [CSS Minifier](https://findutils.com/developers/css-minifier/) - [Markdown Previewer](https://findutils.com/developers/markdown-previewer/) - [Diff Checker](https://findutils.com/text/diff-checker/) - [Regex Tester](https://findutils.com/developers/regex-tester/) - [ChatGPT Screenshot Generator](https://findutils.com/mockups/chatgpt-screenshot-generator/) - [SQL Formatter](https://findutils.com/developers/sql-formatter/)
