Snip2img is a visualization tool designed for developers, data analysts, and technical writers who need to transform raw text or code into stunning, high-definition images. The tool supports a variety of programming languages, HTML/XML, CSV, and Markdown.
I personally share a lot of content online and needed a way to create beautiful images that I can use as visual aid to communicate or share ideas. There are other tools online that work in a similar way but I needed something that works for my use-case. So here we are!
Yes! The entire project is just a few lines of Javascript wrapping around pre-defined HTML markup that runs locally in your browser. Feel free to use it in whatever way you see fit!
Because the app runs fully locally in your browser, there are indeed some limitations. Example: using remote images may sometime trigger CORS errors that prevents rendering. Similarly if your image gets too large, browser memory limit may trigger stopping the image conversion from taking place.
If run into any issues, don't hesitate to reach out to me directly on @WesamMikhail.
No. It's just a weekend project that solves a problem for me. I used simple HTML, CSS and some jQuery. Nothing more to it.
