nize.pics – create beautiful images of code and screenshots
5 projects | /r/webdev | 12 Nov 2022

Thanks! It's built with React (Next.js) and Mantine for the UI components. I'm not sure what you mean with edit systems, but the layers are using react-draggable. The syntax highlighting is powered by shiki and a bunch of exported VS Code themes. The state is handled by zustand, with the undo-redo functionality built on top of it. The code formatting is done with prettier and the image export uses html-to-image.
How do I make Design Templates like Canva Templates that are unique but can be modified & exported as an image? Should I use Canvas or WebGL?

Trying to save Tweets as PNG, profile pictures display in rendered component, but not in exported PNG. Any ideas?
1 project | /r/reactjs | 10 Apr 2022

So I am currently developing a React application using html-to-image to accomplish what I want. Basically, I have created an application that allows the user to input the URL to a Tweet, and then I generate a customizable React component that can ultimately be downloaded as a PNG or SVG. The application looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/qP4zDDO.png
Capture HTML element and share it to twitter/reddit/facebook

There are ways of turning a DOM element in to a JPG or PNG. Like the html-to-image package. But I have no idea how you'd let the user share it to Twitter.

Peek hover preview of windows
I use something like html2canvas to download the image from my webpage, but the quality is so low (300px width). I wonder is it possible to download the image with higher quality (at least 800px width?)?

In my image editor project I use html-to-image. It's a fork of dom-to-image and it has a few extra options. It has canvasWidth and canvasHeight for scaling the output but I'm not sure how they work because I used another setting called pixelRatio, since in my image editor I have an option to save the image to whatever the editor zoom is set to, so I already had the proper scale value and never ended up trying the other to settings.
