Java Code Screenshot Generator

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

Java's verbosity is the whole challenge here. The snippet that makes your point is usually surrounded by boilerplate that does not.

Codeshot detects Java 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.

public record Snapshot(String code, String theme, int scale) {

    public Path export(Path path) throws IOException {
        var image = Renderer.render(code, theme);
        return image.save(path, scale);
    }
}

Choosing a theme for Java

Trim imports and annotations unless they are the subject. A Java snippet that fits in twelve lines almost always started as thirty.

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.
