How to create an anonymous paste online

An anonymous paste is a piece of text or code shared via a URL, with no account, no login, and no personal information attached. NullPaste is built specifically for this — there is nothing to sign up for and nothing tracked back to you.

1. 1

   Open NullPaste — no sign-up needed

   Go to nullpaste.org. There is no account, no email, and no registration. The paste editor is ready the moment you arrive.

2. 2

   Type or paste your content

   Enter any plain text or source code. NullPaste never logs who created a paste — raw IP addresses are never stored.

3. 3

   Choose your privacy options

   Add an optional password so only people who know it can open the paste. For extra privacy, enable end-to-end encryption — the content is encrypted in your browser and the key lives only in the share link.

4. 4

   Set an expiry (optional)

   Choose how long the paste lives: 10 minutes, 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week, or never. Enable burn-after-read to destroy it the first time someone opens it.

5. 5

   Create and share the link

   Hit Create paste and copy the short anonymous URL. Share it anywhere — the link is the only thing that connects a reader to the content.

What makes a paste truly anonymous?

• No accounts. NullPaste has no user system. There is nothing to link a paste to a person.
• No stored IPs. Rate limiting uses a one-way HMAC hash — raw IP addresses are never written to logs or the database.
• No analytics. No third-party trackers, no session cookies, no fingerprinting.
• Noindex paste pages. Individual paste URLs are marked noindex so search engines never list them.

When to use an anonymous paste

• Sharing a log file or config without exposing your identity
• Sending a one-time note via a burn-after-read link
• Sharing code in a forum or chat without creating an account on yet another service
• Passing a password or key to someone securely via an encrypted paste
