C++ Code Screenshot Generator

Turn C++ snippets into images worth sharing, without leaving your Mac.

C++ snippets live or die on whether the template syntax is legible, and that is almost entirely a question of contrast.

Codeshot detects C++ from the code you paste, so there is no language picker to get wrong. Here is the same snippet in three of the 30 themes it ships with, rendered with the app's own stylesheets.

#include <string>
#include <vector>

class Snapshot {
public:
    explicit Snapshot(std::string code) : code_(std::move(code)) {}

    bool save(const std::string& path, int scale = 2) const;

private:
    std::string code_;
};

Choosing a theme for C++

Angle brackets and scope operators disappear in soft themes. Pick something with a clear distinction between punctuation and identifiers.

Getting the size right

Let the image follow your content, or lock it to a ratio — 1:1, 4:3, 3:2, 16:9, 9:16, 2:3, or 3:4 — then export at 1×, 2×, or 3× so it stays sharp on a retina display. Copy it straight to the clipboard with C, or save with S.
