We compare built-in macOS capture, CodeSnap and Polacode, Ray.so, Carbon, Snappify, and Silicon for preserving readable, syntax-highlighted code. We include exact workflows, language counts, offline status, prices, terminal capture guidance, font and theme recommendations, sharing options, and the typical under-500-KB PNG size. We also add backgrounds, rounded corners, and device frames to code captures.
