How It Works

Create a paste, share a link, add optional protection, and export to PDF or Word in a few simple steps.

  1. 1. Create your paste

    Go to the home page, choose a format (Markdown, Source Code, or Plain Text), and paste or type your content. Markdown supports live preview; you can drag and drop a .md file when Markdown is selected.

  2. 2. Set options (optional)

    Add a title, password, expiry time, burn-after-reading, or open discussion before you publish. Defaults are sensible — you can share immediately without changing anything.

  3. 3. Share the link

    After creating a paste you get a short URL. Share it directly, show a QR code, email the link, or use the body-only view (/slug/main) when you want content without site navigation.

  4. 4. View and collaborate

    Recipients open the link in their browser. Password-protected pastes ask for a password once per session. If discussion is enabled, visitors can leave comments. Owners can edit pastes from My Pastes or after signing in with Google.

  5. 5. Export or reuse

    Download plain text, PDF, or Word (.docx) from the paste page. Clone a paste to fork it into the editor, or use the raw view for plain source text.
