FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about creating viral code videos
What is Code to Video and how does it work?
Code to Video is a free online tool that converts your raw code snippets into stunning, animated 9:16 portrait videos — perfect for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Simply paste your code, choose a syntax theme and animation style, and hit record. The tool uses WebCodecs API with a Virtual Time rendering engine to capture every frame with pixel-perfect accuracy. Everything runs 100% in your browser — no uploads, no servers.
Is this tool really free? Are there watermarks?
Yes, completely free with zero watermarks, no sign-up, and no usage limits. Unlike paid tools like Carbon or CodeSnap Pro, our tool runs entirely in your browser at zero cost. Create unlimited code videos and download them all without restrictions.
What programming languages are supported?
We support JavaScript, Python, CSS, HTML, PHP, and Bash with full syntax highlighting powered by Prism.js. Each language gets proper color-coded tokens for keywords, strings, functions, comments, and more — making your code look professional and readable in the video.
What video formats and resolutions are available?
Videos are exported as MP4 (H.264) — the universal format supported by every social media platform. You can choose between 1080×1920 (Standard HD) or 1440×2560 (2K Pro) resolution, and 30 FPS or 60 FPS for ultra-smooth playback. Files are optimized for minimal size with maximum visual quality.
How is this different from Carbon or CodeSnap?
Carbon and CodeSnap only generate static images of your code. Our tool creates animated videos with a smooth typewriter typing effect, blinking cursor, syntax highlighting, and a premium macOS-style window — all in 9:16 portrait format ready for social media. It's a completely different category of tool designed for viral video content.
Can I customize the look and feel of the video?
Absolutely! You can customize: Syntax theme (Dracula, Tomorrow Night, Okaidia, Synthwave), Background style (Mesh Gradient, Dark Blur, Solid Black), Animation style (Typewriter, Block Fade, Static), Typing speed, and even add a custom social handle watermark to brand your content. The live preview updates in real-time as you adjust settings.
What browsers are supported?
The recording engine requires WebCodecs API support — available in Google Chrome 94+, Microsoft Edge 94+, and Opera 80+. Firefox support is not yet available. For the best experience, we recommend using the latest version of Chrome on desktop.
Is my code uploaded to any server?
No. Never. Your code stays entirely on your device. The whole rendering and encoding process happens inside your browser using client-side JavaScript. We don't collect, store, or transmit any code you paste into the tool. It's 100% private by design.
