Short answer

How can I turn my code into images using AI?

Paste your code into your AI chat and ask it to create an image. Your agent uses Carbonara to wrap the code in a custom theme and save it as a high-resolution PNG. You'll get a professional visual ready for documentation or social media.

The results you get.

Visual outcomes.

Every request results in one of these outcomes.

IMAGE

Polished PNG files

The AI uses the tool to render your snippet into a high-resolution image. You get a file that looks like a professional screenshot.

THEME

Custom visual styles

Your agent applies specific window styles and color themes. This ensures the code looks exactly how you want it to look.

TEXT

Raw code snippets

The process starts with the plain text you provide. The AI handles the heavy lifting of converting that text into a graphic.

HUMAN

Manual style tweaks

If the generated theme isn't quite right, you decide on the final adjustments. You tell the AI how to change the colors or padding.

The workflow

What your AI does when code arrives.

The AI handles the rendering logic so you don't have to touch a design tool.

  1. Receive snippet

    Your agent takes the raw text or code block you provided in the chat.

  2. Apply styling

    The AI selects the requested theme, window decorations, and padding settings.

  3. Render image

    The tool converts the styled text into a high-resolution PNG file.
