Python
Turn Python snippets into images worth sharing, without leaving your Mac.
Python is the language people most often screenshot for tutorials and threads, usually because the snippet is short enough to read on a phone.
Codeshot detects Python 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.
from dataclasses import dataclass
@dataclass
class Snapshot:
code: str
theme: str = "xcode"
scale: int = 2
def export(self, path):
image = render(self.code, self.theme)
return image.save(path, scale=self.scale)from dataclasses import dataclass

class Snapshot:

return image.save(path, scale=self.scale)from dataclasses import dataclass

return image.save(path, scale=self.scale)Keep it under about fifteen lines. Python's significant whitespace means a wrapped line reads as a mistake to anyone skimming, so a narrower ratio usually beats a wide one.
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.

Everything runs on your Mac. Your code never leaves it.
