CodeImg

VSCode extension that generate beautiful image for you code and terminal with your favorite font and theme.

Powered by Solid.js.

Why another one?

The popular existing extensions lack maintenance and have limited customization options. I spent some weekend time creating this extension, hoping to add a more modern UI and additional configuration options.

How it works?

Call VSCode's built-in command to copy generated HTML text and render the parsed clipboard content.

• For code, use editor.action.clipboardCopyWithSyntaxHighlightingAction
• For terminal, use workbench.action.terminal.copySelectionAsHtml

Features

• Generate beautiful image of code and terminal
• Copy or save image in PNG / JPG / WEBP format
• Click line number to highlight lines in 3 styles

Showcase

Code:

Terminal:

• Font: Maple Mono
• Theme: Maple

Limitation

• No effect about editor.bracketPairColorization
• "pollute" your clipboard
• Snap on terminal cannot be updated if selection in terminal changed
