Carbon is an [[MIT License]] licensed syntax highlighted code to image generator written in [[Javascript]]. - [Website](https://carbon.now.sh) - [Source](https://github.com/carbon-app/carbon) - [Documentation](https://carbon.now.sh/about) > Carbon lets you create and share beautiful images of your source code # Notability Makes pretty "screenshots" of code. Generally better than you would see in a terminal or editor. # Philosophy ## License There is a weird terms and privacy policy on the website. It might be auto-generated by their host Vercel, otherwise I don't understand how any of it applies. Someone asked on Github if they could use images for commercial purposes and the developers had them email them about it. Which is fair I guess, but it's [[MIT License]]d software. ## Monetization They include ads by `carbonads.net` which is a subsidiary of `BuySellAds` and I can't tell if that's the joke or what. # Platform Support # Features - download image as PNG - download image as SVG - progressive web app offline ## Shared Snippets Logging in lets you save and share snippets. https://github.com/carbon-app/carbon/issues/1002 - embed text/image on website - publish to social media with alt text # Tips Generate images directly from editors like [[VS Code]], [[Vim]], or from the command line or [[Slack]]. # Resources - https://github.com/mixn/carbon-now-cli - https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ericadamski.carbon-now-sh - https://github.com/kristijanhusak/vim-carbon-now-sh - https://github.com/ellisonleao/carbon-now.nvim ## See Also - https://github.com/mistricky/codesnap.nvim - https://github.com/michaelrommel/nvim-silicon # References ```cardlink url: https://youtu.be/ig_HLrssAYE title: "Create beautiful code screenshots in Neovim.
