Code, explained line by line

Turn any snippet into an explainer

Paste code, get a beautiful walkthrough that highlights the logic one idea at a time — unlisted as a live page, not a video.

3 free explainers · no card · credits from $9 · never expire

From paste to published in a minute

No timeline editor, no rendering, no video software. Drop in code and the explainer writes itself.

1

Paste a snippet

Any focused function, hook, or class — in any language. Pick a language or let it auto-detect.

2

We write the walkthrough

highlit splits the code into logical beats, writes a plain-English note for each, and tags the concepts — then you can rename the title to taste.

3

Share the live page

You get a link that highlights the code as it explains it — embeddable, scrubbable, and great on mobile.
