A FEW WAYS TO MAKE IT YOURS

Code mockup examples.
A little inspiration to start.

A little JavaScript, a useful Python function, a first commit. Choose a starting point and replace the code with something of your own.

Make the lesson easy to follow

Highlight the lines you want to explain. A light code card for a tutorial, a classroom slide or a blog.

A detail worth keeping

Let the code stand on its own. Try this clean style for a CSS tip, design-system note or portfolio detail.

That first successful build

Turn commands into a tidy terminal image. Useful for a setup guide, release note or a build-in-public update.

An API response with a little personality

A light JSON example on a vertical Story canvas. Try it for an API announcement or developer tip. Replace every key and value.

Made with this generator. Every example includes editable code and styling.

A FRESH STARTING POINT

Make this one
your own.

Load “” into the editor? This replaces your current local draft. You can restore the previous draft from this section until you reload the page.

FROM CODE TO SOMETHING SHAREABLE

Good code.
A little more readable.

01

Bring the useful part.

Paste a short snippet or open a text file. Pick its language and keep the whitespace that makes it readable.

02

Make the idea stand out.

Choose a theme and background. Highlight a few lines, adjust the text size and give the code some breathing room.

03

Share it clearly.

Download a PNG for a tutorial, social post or presentation. Save an editable project if you want to return to it.

CODE TO IMAGE, WITHOUT THE GUESSWORK

A few things
worth knowing.

How do I turn code into an image?

Click Edit code and paste your snippet, or open a local code file. Choose the language, pick a theme and adjust the spacing. Download a PNG or JPG when it looks right. You do not need to take a screenshot of your editor.

Is this code snippet mockup generator free?

Yes. All current editing features and PNG or JPG downloads at 1×, 2× and 3× are free. No account, subscription or watermark. The download controls show the exact pixel dimensions for your design. Very large designs may need a smaller size to fit your browser’s image limits.

Can I animate my code snippet?

Yes. Enable Animation to watch your snippet type itself, appear line by line, or reveal blocks separated by blank lines. Preview for free, adjust the speed and pauses, and choose a portrait, square or wide video frame. Syntax highlighting stays consistent and long snippets scroll inside the window.

Can I download a code typing animation as MP4?

Pro members can export silent MP4 videos at 30 fps in 720p or 1080p. Choose a theme, add line highlights and adjust the text size before sharing it as a Reel, Story, tutorial or presentation. PNG and JPG downloads remain free.

Which programming languages have syntax highlighting?

Choose from 25 options, including JavaScript, TypeScript, React JSX and TSX, Python, HTML, CSS, JSON, SQL, Bash, Java, C, C++, C#, Go, Rust, PHP, Swift, Kotlin and Ruby. YAML, Markdown, Dockerfile, Diff and plain text are included too. Highlighting changes the colors, not your code.

Can I make a VS Code-style editor mockup or a terminal screenshot?

Choose Editor for a file-tab layout, Window for a classic desktop frame, or Terminal for a command-line look. Minimal removes the window header. These are customizable visual styles, not captures of a running editor or terminal.

Can I make a transparent code snippet PNG?

Yes. Open Background & export and enable Transparent canvas. The area around your code window becomes transparent, so you can place it on a presentation, website or video. Choose PNG, because JPG does not support transparency.

Can I make square code mockups, Stories and widescreen images?

Yes. Use the canvas presets above the preview: Square is 1080 × 1080, Portrait is 1080 × 1350, Story is 1080 × 1920 and Wide is 1920 × 1080 at 1×. Each preset also adjusts the code window width and text size, so the content reflows for that shape. The result is centered and fitted without cropping. Choose Fit to code for an image that follows the snippet’s size.

How do I highlight specific lines in a code image?

Open Size & lines and enter line numbers such as 2, 4-6. You can also dim the other lines and change the starting line number. Wrapped lines keep their original line number, so the highlight follows the whole line.

What size works best for LinkedIn, X or a programming tutorial?

Start with a short snippet and a font size that is easy to read at feed size. Use a narrower window for a phone screen, or a wider one for a slide or README. Download at 2× or 3× for sharper text. More pixels help clarity, but shorter code usually helps more.

Can I use code images in a blog, README or documentation?

Yes. PNG is a good choice for crisp text. Include a plain-text code block beside the image when readers need to copy the code or use a screen reader. Add useful alt text that explains what the example demonstrates.

Is my source code uploaded or executed?

No. Editing, highlighting and image creation happen in your browser. The tool does not run your code or send it to a server. A draft is saved in this browser, and Save project downloads an editable file to your device. Check for API keys or other private details before sharing your finished image.

What happens to long lines, tabs and large files?

Tabs can use 2, 4 or 8 spaces. Long lines wrap by default; switch wrapping off to let the window grow instead. Each snippet can contain up to 12,000 characters and 160 lines. Very large images may need a smaller resolution or a shorter snippet.

Can I save a project or use content from an AI assistant?

Yes. Save project downloads an editable file with your settings, text and uploaded images. Open project restores it in the same tool, or lets you paste project JSON from an assistant. Review it before replacing your draft. Files are processed in your browser, not uploaded to your account.

Can I use the downloaded images commercially?

Yes. Images exported from these social and app mockup tools can be used in personal projects, social posts, presentations and client work without a Mockaps subscription or attribution. You still need permission for content you add. Platform names and logos belong to their owners; a mockup does not imply their endorsement.
