Elm Code Screenshot Generator

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

Elm's type annotations sit on their own line above each function, which gives snippets a distinctive shape that reads well in a frame.

Codeshot detects Elm 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.

module Snapshot exposing (export)

type alias Options =
    { theme : String
    , scale : Int
    }

export : String -> Options -> Result String String
export code options =
    code |> render options.theme |> save options.scale

Choosing a theme for Elm

Keep the annotation with its function. Splitting them across a crop removes the most informative line in the snippet.

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.
