A creative playground for code and images

I built Snipp, a browser-based creative tool for transforming code snippets and images into polished, shareable visuals. I wanted something that made it easy to create good-looking content without opening a full design application or spending time adjusting every detail manually.

Snipp brings code styling, image customization, and animation into one workspace. Users can experiment with different backgrounds, themes, layouts, and effects while seeing their changes instantly.

Making static content more interesting

What started as a way to create beautiful code snippets grew into something more flexible. Beyond syntax highlighting and customizable code previews, I added tools for editing images, adding text, drawing, and applying visual effects.

One of the more interesting features is the ability to animate images, including 3D-style rotations, spins, and other motion effects. Instead of exporting only static visuals, users can give their creations movement and experiment with how images behave in three-dimensional space.

The goal was to make these effects accessible through simple controls rather than requiring knowledge of animation software.

Built around experimentation

I developed Snipp using Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS, focusing on an interactive editing experience where visual changes appear immediately.

I paid attention to how the different tools work together, from editing code and customizing backgrounds to applying motion effects and adjusting the final composition.

I also implemented URL-based editor preferences, making it possible to preserve certain workspace settings when navigating or sharing links.

Snipp was an opportunity to explore the more creative side of frontend engineering, particularly interactive interfaces, visual customization, animations, and making complex effects feel simple to use.

The result is a lightweight creative workspace where developers and creators can turn ordinary code and images into something worth sharing.
