When You Need This
Real scenarios where code snapshots solve a specific problem.
Sharing code on social media
Plain text code looks terrible on Twitter/X and LinkedIn. Export a styled PNG with syntax highlighting, gradient backgrounds, and shadows that stands out in any feed.
Documentation and tutorials
Embed beautiful code images in blog posts, README files, and slide decks where live code blocks aren't supported. Add line numbers and a window title for context.
Code reviews and presentations
Highlight specific code sections with line numbers and step markers for team reviews, architecture discussions, or conference talks.
Proprietary code you can't paste online
Unlike Carbon or Ray.so, Diwadi runs locally. Your code never leaves your machine — safe for internal tools, API keys, and private repos.
Frequently Asked Questions
What programming languages are supported?
Diwadi supports 28 languages: JavaScript, TypeScript, JSX, TSX, Python, Rust, Go, Java, C++, C, C#, Ruby, PHP, Swift, Kotlin, Bash, YAML, JSON, TOML, XML, HTML, CSS, SCSS, Markdown, SQL, GraphQL, Dockerfile, and Makefile. Each language gets proper syntax highlighting with accurate token coloring.
What themes are available?
There are two code themes: GitHub Dark (dark background with light text) and GitHub Light (white background with dark text). You can preview both in a two-column grid before selecting. The theme controls only the code block styling — you can separately set the outer background to a solid color, gradient, or transparent.
What font sizes can I choose?
Seven preset font sizes are available: 12px, 13px, 14px, 16px, 18px, 20px, and 24px. The default is 14px. The canvas automatically resizes when you change font size, so the output always fits your code cleanly.
How is this different from Carbon or Ray.so?
Carbon and Ray.so are online tools that require uploading your code to a server. Diwadi runs entirely on your desktop — your code never leaves your machine. This matters when working with proprietary code, API keys, or internal tooling. You also get faster exports with no upload wait, and it works offline.
What export format does it use?
Code snapshots export as PNG images. You can save the PNG to a file on disk or copy it directly to your clipboard for quick pasting into chat apps, documents, or social media.
Can I customize the background behind the code block?
Yes. The outer background supports solid colors, linear and radial gradients, or a fully transparent background. This is separate from the code theme — you can combine a dark code theme with a colorful gradient background, for example.
What are the padding options?
Five code padding presets are available: None (0px), S (12px), M (20px), L (32px), and XL (48px). Padding controls the space between the code text and the edge of the code block frame.
Is there a limit on code length?
The canvas auto-sizes to fit your code. A soft warning appears when the output exceeds 8,000px in height — the export still works but the image will be large. A hard limit at 12,000px blocks export entirely. If you hit the hard limit, reduce the font size, split the snippet, or share as a Gist instead.
