A Node.js CLI tool that generates beautiful images of your code from the terminal, powered by carbon.now.sh. It downloads real high-quality PNG/SVG images with customizable themes, presets, and interactive mode.

Use cases

• generate a beautiful image of a code snippet from the terminal
• create code screenshots for blog posts or social media
• turn a source file into a PNG or SVG with custom theme colors
• copy a code image directly to the clipboard
• batch-generate images for multiple files with concurrency
• render only selected lines of a file as an image

When to choose

• you want polished code images without leaving the terminal
• you need repeatable styling via saved presets
• you want clipboard or stdin input and PNG/SVG output

When to avoid

• you need offline image generation without network access to carbon.now.sh
• you want a GUI editor for tweaking images visually
