Frequently Asked Questions

QWhich programming languages are supported for syntax highlighting?

Dozens of languages are supported, including JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Rust, Go, Java, C, C++, CSS, HTML, SQL, Bash, and many more.

QCan I customize the window frame decoration?

Yes. You can toggle a browser-style or editor-style window frame with traffic-light buttons, or remove the frame entirely for a clean frameless look.

QWhat is the difference between the PNG and SVG exports?

PNG is a raster image suitable for social media and presentations. SVG is a vector format that scales to any resolution without quality loss, ideal for print or high-DPI displays.

QIs this similar to Carbon (carbon.now.sh)?

Yes, it provides similar functionality but runs fully client-side in your browser, so your code is never transmitted to an external service.
