What is the Environment Variables generator?
An environment variables image tool styles keys, values and comments from a .env file so configuration reads cleanly. Turn your .env.example into a clear setup image — just use placeholder values, never live secrets.
Codeshot is free and runs entirely in your browser — no account, no watermark, and nothing you paste is uploaded. Export a retina PNG or a scalable SVG, or copy the image straight to your clipboard.
When to use it
- Setup and onboarding guides
- Project README configuration
- Deployment and ops docs
- .env.example references
Why use Codeshot for environment variables image?
Key / value styling
Variable names, values and comments each get their own color for fast scanning.
Comment friendly
Lines starting with # are dimmed so section headers read as labels.
Setup-guide ready
Make your .env.example a clear image instead of a plain block.

Environment Variables — frequently asked questions
Should I share real secrets?+
Never put live secrets in an image. Use placeholder values or your .env.example — Codeshot renders whatever you paste, as you paste it.
Are comments supported?+
Yes. Lines beginning with # are styled as comments so you can group variables with headers.
What can I export, and is it free?+
Export a high-resolution PNG or a scalable SVG, or copy straight to your clipboard. Codeshot is completely free — no account, no watermark, no limits.
Do I need an account or any software to install?+
No. Codeshot runs entirely in your web browser — there is nothing to download or install, and no sign-up, login or email is required. Open the page, paste your content and export.
Can I use the exported images commercially?+
Yes. You keep all rights to the content you paste and the images you create, and you can use them in commercial blog posts, courses, slides, documentation and social media at no cost. There is no watermark on any export.
Can I customize the theme, font, background and size?+
Yes. Choose from a dozen real editor themes (Dracula, Night Owl, One Dark, GitHub and more), premium self-hosted fonts, gradient, solid or transparent backdrops, light or dark window modes, and adjustable padding, font size, shadow and window controls.
Does Codeshot work on mobile and in every major browser?+
Codeshot works in modern browsers on desktop and mobile, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge. A larger screen makes fine-tuning the frame easier, but you can create and export an image from a phone or tablet too.
