Superb App for Creating Code Shots

As an educator, crafting lessons that effectively showcase code samples isn’t always straightforward. Codeshot makes it simple! Just select the language you need, paste in the code you want to illustrate, and export it as an image—it’s that easy. Even better, Codeshot gives you extensive control over the look and feel. Customize fonts, sizes, backgrounds (or background images), margins, padding, drop shadows, and more.

Not clean at all — cursor and highlights show up

This app seems like it would be premium and good, but generating an image comes with so many issues. Cursor and highlights of text randomly show up, ruining all my screenshots. This seems extremely basic — I shouldn’t be paying $6 and having such obvious bugs in the experience. Please fix.

Needs custom styling

Good app but needs to support custom styles. Sometimes my screenshots have the cursor in them too which is annoying.

Love it!

Wanted to share some random code snippets on Twitter while I learn iOS Development. I searched pretty much exactly that into Google and this app came up. It looked super easy to use and I'm so glad I bought it!

Interface is simple, plenty of themes to choose from in terms of colours for your text too. I'd love to see a gradient background maker in there but as someone that doesn't do app development (yet!) I totally understand if that's a huge ask. I've been uploading my own gradient images to use as backgrounds and that's super easy too.

Love this app! If sharing code you're working on is something you do a lot it's totally worth the price.

Great tool for presentiations but...

I use this app for presentions when working with teams of people. The downside of this app is that it currently crashes on Apple Silicon devices.
