Why teams choose this workflow
Developer advocates and engineers often share code snippets externally, but standard screenshots are hard to read. With Pictify, you can highlight syntax, add branding, and export a clean snippet ready for any channel.
Use the workflow to create blog hero images, documentation callouts, or social-media friendly snippets showing new features.
Common pain points solved
- • IDE screenshots include extra UI chrome and clutter
- • Difficult to maintain consistent fonts and spacing across assets
- • Sharing sensitive paths or environment variables by accident
Step-by-step
- Paste formatted HTML
Use Prism/Highlight.js or MDX to output styled HTML for the snippet.
- Pick theme & size
Choose dark or light theme and select 1200×630 for OG cards or square for carousels.
- Generate & publish
Export and upload to your blog, docs, or social channels with consistent branding.

}'FAQs
Can I include multiple files or tabs?
Yes. Structure your HTML with headers or tabs before converting, and Pictify will render them exactly.
Is there a character limit for code?
No strict limit, but ensure the canvas width/height is large enough for readability. You can always increase dimensions before generation.
