Paste text online
A simple paste tool for code snippets, error messages, or any block of text you want to copy between machines or share with someone fast.
What's a "paste"?
A paste is a snippet of text — usually code, logs, or config — that you store somewhere you can grab it later or send to someone else. Developers paste tracebacks into Slack. Sysadmins paste config files into tickets. Students paste essay drafts between phone and laptop.
Why use this instead of a traditional paste site?
- Nothing leaves your browser. Your text is saved to your local browser storage. We don't have it on our servers.
- No signup. Open the page, paste, copy.
- No ads in the editor. Just the text.
- Works offline. Once the page loads, you don't need a connection.
How to share what you paste
This tool is built for personal storage and quick copy-paste, not URL-based sharing. To share with someone else, hit Copy and paste it into Slack, Discord, email, or a public pastebin like one of these.
If you need a shareable URL where the other person sees a paste page, see our roundup of pastebin alternatives — different tools have different trade-offs around privacy, expiration, and code highlighting.
Tips for sharing code
- Strip secrets — API keys, passwords, tokens — before pasting anywhere outside your machine.
- Include enough context (language, framework version, OS) for someone to actually help.
- If it's a stack trace, keep the first 10-20 lines. They contain the cause.
