⚠ Unlike most of the site, this tool sends your input to a server and stores it to work. It tells you exactly what it keeps and why — see the tool and the privacy page.
A pastebin lets you share a chunk of text or code through a link instead of pasting it into a chat. Set an expiry, get a URL, send it.
Why this tool has a server
A paste only works if someone else can open it from a link, so the text must be stored somewhere reachable — which a browser-only page can’t do. This uses a small backend (Cloudflare Pages Functions + a D1 database) to store the paste and serve it at a shareable URL.
What’s stored, and for how long
The paste content and an optional language tag are stored until the expiry you pick — 1 hour to 30 days — then deleted. Pastes are capped at 200 KB.
The link is public. It’s random and unguessable, but not secret — anyone with it can read the paste. Don’t paste credentials or personal data. For something that must vanish after a single view, use One-Time Secret instead.

Frequently asked questions
Why does this need a server?
A paste is only useful if someone else can open it from a link, which means the text has to live somewhere reachable — impossible in your browser alone. This stores it in a small backend (Cloudflare Pages Functions + D1) and serves it at a shareable URL.
How long does a paste last?
You choose: 1 hour, 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. After that it's deleted automatically. Pastes are capped at 200 KB.
Is my paste private?
No. The link is random and unguessable, but anyone who has it can read the paste. Don't paste passwords, API keys, tokens, or personal data. For a secret that self-destructs after one view, use the One-Time Secret tool instead.
Does it highlight syntax?
You can tag a language for reference, and the paste is shown in a clean monospace block with wrapping preserved. (Full syntax coloring isn't applied — the focus is fast, faithful sharing.)
How do I share or reopen a paste?
After creating one, copy the link (the id lives in the URL after #). Anyone with that link can open it until it expires; reloading the page reopens the same paste.
