Markdown Code Block to PNG
Wrap your code in a fenced Markdown block and export it as a PNG with a monospace font on a tinted panel. Note: the code is not syntax-highlighted.
Direct answer
Put the code inside triple-backtick fences, paste it into the tool, pick the Dark or Light theme, and press Download PNG. The code block renders in a monospace font on a tinted panel with a border and rounded corners. The tool does not colour the code by token, so keywords and strings are the same colour as the rest.
Open Markdown to Image converterWhen to use this
- You need a code snippet as an image for a slide deck, a thread, or a doc that only takes pictures.
- You want a clean panel around a command without setting up a screenshot tool.
- The code sits next to prose that should ship in the same image.
Steps
- Wrap the code in triple backticks. A language tag such as ```bash is fine but does not change the colours.
- Paste the fenced block into the Markdown input.
- Pick the Dark theme for a terminal look, or Light for a documentation look.
- Raise Font size until the code is readable at the size people will view it.
- Choose an Auto height preset for long code, then press Download PNG.
Example conversion
```bash npm i -g mytool mytool export --format png --out ./dist ```
A PNG showing both commands in a monospace font on a tinted, bordered panel, all in one colour rather than syntax-highlighted.
Common mistakes
- Very long lines wrap rather than scroll, because an image has no scrollbar. Break long commands yourself if the wrap looks wrong.
- Do not expect syntax highlighting; the tool applies one code colour per theme.
- Tabs and leading spaces are preserved, so paste the code exactly as it should appear.
FAQ
- Is the code syntax-highlighted?
- No. The code block gets a monospace font, a tinted background, a border, and rounded corners, but every token uses the same colour. If you need coloured tokens, take a screenshot from your editor instead.
- What happens to very long lines?
- They wrap inside the panel. The block uses wrapping rather than horizontal scrolling, because a PNG cannot scroll.
- Can I export inline code too?
- Yes. Single-backtick inline code renders as a small monospace chip with a tinted background and a border, inside the surrounding sentence.
