You know all of those code screenshots you see on Twitter? Though the code's usually impressive, we saw room for improvement in the aesthetic department. Carbon makes it easy to create and share beautiful images of your source code. So what are you waiting for? Go impress all of your followers with your newfound design prowess.

• Import from GitHub gist. Simply append a GitHub gist id to the url
• Customization. Customize things like your image's syntax theme, window style, and more
• Share quickly. Save your image or Tweet a link with one click

There are a few different ways to import code into Carbon:

• Drop a file onto the editor
• Append a GitHub gist id to the url (e.g. carbon.now.sh/GIST_ID_HERE)
• Paste your code directly

Once you've got all of your code into Carbon, you can customize your image by changing the syntax theme, background color, window theme, or padding.

After you've customized your image you can either Tweet a link to the image, or save it directly.
