Code Printer

Print beautiful, prettified code

What is this Tool?

Code Printer solves the common headache of printing source code. It converts your code snippets into a beautifully formatted, syntax-highlighted layout optimized for paper or PDF export.

It handles line wrapping intelligently, ensures fonts are legible (even for 'O' vs '0'), and removes browser clutter so you get a clean, professional document every time.

How to use

  1. Setup Editor: Choose your programming language (JS, TS, Python, C++, HTML) and preferred coding font (like Fira Code or JetBrains Mono).
  2. Enter Code: Paste your source code. You can edit it directly here to remove sensitive info or add comments.
  3. Preview: Adjust font size to fit more code on a page or increase readability.
  4. Print / Save: Click Print. In the dialog, choose your printer for hard copies or "Save as PDF" to create a digital archive.

Why do you need it?

  • For Education: Teachers can print code quizzes, and students can submit printed assignments that are actually readable.
  • For Code Reviews: Sometimes it helps to print out complex algorithms and mark them up with a red pen away from the screen.
  • Syntax Highlighting: Unlike printing from Notepad or a basic browser view, we preserve the color coding which is vital for reading modern code.

FAQ

Q. Does it support ligatures?

Yes! If you select 'Fira Code' or 'JetBrains Mono', coding ligatures (like => or ===) are rendered correctly.

Q. Does it print line numbers?

Yes, line numbers are included by default to verify strict line references during code reviews.

Q. Is the printout color or B&W?

It sends color data to the printer. If you have a B&W printer, it will print in grayscale but bolding/italics will still help readability.
