How to share code snippets
Share code snippets with a clean, syntax-highlighted link in seconds — no account needed. A step-by-step guide using NullPaste.
Pasting code into a chat window usually mangles the formatting and loses syntax highlighting. NullPaste gives you a clean, highlighted, shareable link in a few seconds — no account required.
Open a new paste
Go to the NullPaste home page. There's no sign-up — the editor is ready immediately.
Paste your code
Drop your snippet into the editor (up to 1 MB). The language is auto-detected for syntax highlighting, or type the language name to set it explicitly.
Pick an expiry
Choose how long the snippet should live — from 10 minutes to never. Use a short expiry for one-off reviews and 'never' (with a delete code) for snippets you want to keep.
Create and copy the link
Hit Create paste and copy the short URL. Share it in chat, a ticket, or an email — anyone with the link sees the highlighted code.
Tips
- Sharing something sensitive? Turn on a password or end-to-end encryption.
- Only want one person to read it once? Use burn-after-read.
