I often get asked how I make "those great screenshots" of my code that I share on social media and here on dev.to. The answer is simple: I use the website https://carbon.now.sh!

Here's an example screenshot:
And here's one of the tweet's I've shared that has performed well, largely due to the quality of the screenshot:
Liquid error: internal
You too can share tips and code clearly using Carbon!
Happy learning/teaching!

Try codekeep.io/screenshot
snappify.io/
Yes there is a Carbon.now.sh alternative i.e Snappify which is better and advance.
You can also use codekeep.io/screenshot , it has preset templates , programming icon support and supports linking to the snippet, so you can copy paste em

I recommend an excellent extension: Polacode
marketplace.visualstudio.com/items...
I used polacode for a while but found Carbon to be more visually appealing. To each their own!
Carbon is one of my favs .
