Shell
Shell Code Screenshot Generator
Turn Shell snippets into images worth sharing, without leaving your Mac.
A shell session is different from a shell script: the prompt and the output are part of what you are showing, which is exactly why a screenshot beats a code block.
Codeshot detects Shell 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.
Choosing a theme for Shell
Include the prompt character. Without it nobody can tell which lines you typed and which the machine printed back.
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.
