The tool creates visual representations of source code and terminal output, exporting them as PNG, SVG, or WebP files. It can be invoked directly on a file to produce a styled image of the code, or used with the --execute flag to capture the ANSI output of a command and render it as a screenshot‑like image.

Developers who need sharable, syntax‑highlighted snippets for documentation, presentations, or social media will find it useful. The command‑line interface is available on macOS, Linux, Windows, and can be installed via package managers, binary releases, or Go. An interactive text‑user interface allows on‑the‑fly customization, while configuration files and a range of flags let users adjust themes, fonts, margins, backgrounds, and other visual aspects.

The program automatically detects the programming language from file names or content, with an option to override detection. Settings are stored in a user configuration file, and all options are listed in the help output.
