Gherkin

Gherkin Code Screenshot Generator

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

Gherkin is written to be read by people who do not write code, which makes it one of the few languages regularly shared with a non-technical audience.

Codeshot detects Gherkin 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.

Feature: Exporting a snapshot

  Scenario: Export at retina scale
    Given a snippet of Swift
    And the Xcode theme is selected
    When I export at 2x
    Then the image is 1600 by 900 pixels

Choosing a theme for Gherkin

Because the audience is wider, push the font size up further than you would for anything else here. Assume it will be viewed on a phone in a meeting.

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.
