How to share text online for free

Share a block of text, a note, or a log with a link — no account, no app. The fastest way to share text online, from any device.

NullPaste is the simplest way to share text online. Open the page, paste your text, get a link. No account, no app, no upload limit gymnastics — just a clean URL to send anywhere.

  1. Open NullPaste

    Go to nullpaste.org. No account or sign-up — just an empty editor ready for your text.

  2. Type or paste your text

    Drop in plain text, notes, logs, error messages, or anything up to 1 MB. You don't need to pick a language — plain text works perfectly.

  3. Choose expiry (optional)

    Set how long the text stays available: 10 minutes, 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week, or never. Temporary text sharing is great for things you only need once.

  4. Create and share the link

    Click Create Paste. Copy the link and share it — via chat, email, a ticket, or anywhere else. The recipient can read the full text without an account.

What you can share

  • Plain-text notes and memos — faster than creating a shared doc
  • Long messages that exceed a chat app's character limit
  • Error logs and terminal output to share with a support team
  • Draft text for someone to review before putting it in a document
  • Config file contents to send to a colleague without repo access
  • One-time instructions or credentials — use burn-after-read so they disappear
  • Quick notes to yourself accessible from any device — no login needed

Privacy when sharing text

By default your paste link is unlisted — not indexed by search engines and practically unguessable — but unlisted is not secret: anyone who obtains the link can open an unprotected paste. For extra privacy:

Frequently asked questions

What is the fastest way to share text online?
Open nullpaste.org, paste or type your text, and click Create Paste. You get a shareable link in under 10 seconds — no account, no email, no app installation.
Does the recipient need an account to read the shared text?
No. Anyone with the link can read the text immediately in their browser — no account, no sign-up, no app required.
Can I share text privately online?
Yes. Add a password so only people who know it can open the link — note this is access control, not encryption: the server still stores the content and verifies an Argon2id password hash. For stronger privacy, enable end-to-end encryption — the content is encrypted in your browser before it reaches the server, and the key stays in the URL fragment, which browsers never send to any server.
How long does a shared text paste last?
You choose: 10 minutes, 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week, or never — the default is 1 day. Temporary shares are useful for one-time logs or notes. Every paste comes with a one-time delete code, shown once at creation, so you can remove it manually whenever you like.
Can I share text anonymously?
Yes. There is no account, no email, and no analytics or trackers on any page. Raw IP addresses are never stored or logged — rate limiting uses one-way HMAC-SHA256 identifiers instead — though the server does keep basic paste metadata such as timestamps and a view counter.
