Paste and share code online with syntax highlighting
Share code online with a clean, syntax-highlighted link in seconds. Supports 100+ languages, auto-detected. No account required.
NullPaste is a fast, anonymous tool for pasting and sharing code online. Get a clean, syntax-highlighted link in seconds — no account, no ads, no tracking.
Open NullPaste
Go to nullpaste.org. No account or sign-up — the code editor is ready immediately.
Paste your code
Drop in your code snippet. The editor supports up to 1 MB — enough for large files.
Set the language (optional)
NullPaste auto-detects the programming language for syntax highlighting. To override it, type the language name in the Language field (e.g. python, typescript, sql).
Choose privacy options
Add a password if the snippet is sensitive, or enable burn-after-read for a one-time share. Set an expiry so stale snippets don't linger.
Share the highlighted link
Click Create paste and copy the URL. The recipient sees fully syntax-highlighted code — no account, no plugin required.

When to use NullPaste for code
- Sharing a snippet in a support ticket, Slack, or Discord
- Sending a config file or deployment script to a colleague
- Posting a code review diff when your editor doesn't have a built-in share feature
- Sharing a one-time debug output — use burn-after-read so it disappears after one view
- Sharing sensitive credentials or keys — use end-to-end encryption so the server never sees the content
