How do you create a code screenshot with Beauty Code?

Updated

Beauty Code (code.html.zone) is a browser-based tool for turning source code into shareable images and for keeping snippets organized. To create a code screenshot, open the site in a browser with JavaScript enabled, put your code into the editor, adjust how it looks, and export the result as an image. The steps below describe that flow at the level the site itself supports; the page requires JavaScript to run, so nothing will render without it.

Before you start

  • A modern browser with JavaScript enabled. The site's own page states: "You need to enable JavaScript to run this app." If scripts are blocked, you will see only that message.
  • The code you want to capture, ready to paste.
  • No account or install is mentioned on the page, so treat sign-in and pricing as unconfirmed rather than assuming the tool is free or login-free.

Step-by-step: from code to image

1. Open the app

Go to code.html.zone in your browser. Because the interface is a JavaScript app, wait for it to finish loading before interacting. If the page stays blank, check whether a script blocker or strict privacy setting is preventing JavaScript from running.

2. Add your code

Paste or type the snippet into the editor. Use the exact code you want shown — indentation, line breaks, and comments all carry over into the image, so clean up anything you don't want visible before moving on.

3. Adjust the appearance

Beauty Code is positioned around making code "beautiful" and "shareable," so expect appearance controls for the screenshot. Tune these until the image reads clearly at the size it will be shared — for example, a snippet posted to a chat or slide deck needs larger text and tighter framing than one embedded in documentation.

4. Generate and export

Produce the image and export it. The site describes the output as "beautiful, shareable screenshots," which is the artifact you download or copy for sharing.

5. Reuse and manage snippets

Beyond one-off images, the tool is also for managing code snippets. If you plan to share the same code repeatedly, keeping it in the tool avoids re-pasting and re-styling each time.

What to check before you share

Check Why it matters
JavaScript enabled The app will not run without it
Code is final Formatting and comments are captured as-is
Readable at target size Screenshots are often viewed small in feeds and chats
Snippet saved Reuse beats rebuilding the same image

Common snags

  • Blank page: almost always JavaScript being disabled or blocked, since the app depends on it.
  • Unconfirmed account or price terms: the page does not state pricing or login requirements, so verify in the app before relying on either.
  • Styling drift: if you change the code after styling, re-check the export so the image matches the current snippet.
