Carbon is a web application for creating and sharing beautiful images of source code, with customizable syntax themes, backgrounds, and window styles. It supports importing code via paste, file drop, or GitHub gist, and exporting as PNG or SVG for sharing on social media.
Use cases
- create beautiful code screenshots for twitter
- turn code snippet into shareable image
- make code images for presentations
- export code snippet as png or svg
- share code snippet from github gist as image
- styled code screenshot for blog post
When to choose
- you want polished, shareable images of code for social media, docs, or slides
- you need quick customization of themes, fonts, and backgrounds without setup
- you want to import directly from GitHub gists or files
When to avoid
- you need code rendered as actual text for accessibility or copy-paste
- you want automated or batch screenshot generation in a pipeline
- you need an offline or CLI-only workflow
