Code to Image Converter vs Add Text to Image

Code to Image Converter vs Add Text to Image — What's the Difference?

The short answer: Both produce a shareable image, but from different raw material. Code to Image Converter renders syntax-highlighted code — six languages, light or dark themes, line numbers, a window title — as PNG or SVG at 1x or 2x. Image Caption Generator presses a text caption of up to 180 characters onto a PNG, JPEG, or WebP photo you supply. Code as the content versus text on your content.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between Code to Image Converter and Add Text to Image?
Code to Image Converter takes source code and renders it with syntax highlighting for six languages, light and dark themes, optional line numbers, a window title, and 1x or 2x export as PNG or SVG. Image Caption Generator takes a photo you supply and presses 1 to 180 characters of your text onto it — top, center, or bottom — with font size and bar opacity controls, exporting a PNG at the original dimensions.
Can I use Code to Image Converter and Add Text to Image together?
Code to Image Converter — it is built for exactly that: selectable code, consistent indentation, and SVG output that stays crisp when slides are projected. The caption tool is for photos; it has no code highlighting and would treat your snippet as plain text.
