Create Code Images

In this article you'll learn how to turn your code into beautiful, shareable images like this one:

Not every code snippet needs a video. Sometimes you just need one beautiful frame you can drop anywhere.

Instant Sharing: Export a single crisp image, ready to paste into a tweet, a Slack message, or a blog post.
Professional Styling: Get the same polished themes, fonts, and window chrome as Snipcast's animations, in a single still image.
No Video Needed: Perfect for places that don't support embeds or autoplaying video.
Pixel Perfect: Export at high resolution so your code stays sharp, no matter where it's posted.

Who is it for

Creating code images with Snipcast is perfect for:

Social Media Posts, on X, LinkedIn, and Instagram, where a clean code screenshot stops the scroll,
Blog Posts & Documentation, where a static image loads faster than embedding a video,
Slide Decks, when you want a code snippet on a slide without setting up a live demo.

You can create a beautiful code image within minutes:

Open Snipcast, and click on Create New.
Write your code, replacing the original content.
Select the appropriate programming language on the right panel.
Style your snippet with a theme, background, and window frame from the right panel.
Move the playhead to the exact frame you want to capture, if you're working with multiple steps.
Click on Export, and choose Image.
Pick your format and resolution, then download your image.

You've got a polished code image ready to share!
