Serverless pastes have been rebuilt

Serverless pastes are back with a dedicated creator and viewer. Instead of uploading a paste to AnonPaste, your browser compresses the text or code and stores it inside the share link itself.

Open the new serverless paste page to learn more or create one.

The content stays in the link

Every serverless paste uses a link in the form anonpaste.com/p#payload. The part after # contains the paste and stays in the browser when the page is requested.

AnonPaste does not receive or keep a normal paste record. That means we cannot read, recover, moderate, remove, or restore a lost serverless paste. Keep your own copy and share the complete link.

A focused creator for text and code

The new creator supports:

• one text or code block
• an optional title
• syntax highlighting
• a sensitive-content warning
• optional password encryption
• an optional client-side cutoff

The final link payload is limited to 32 KB. Compression can make substantial text fit, but long or poorly compressible content may reach the limit sooner.

Encrypt and password lock

Password-protected serverless pastes are compressed and then encrypted in the browser before the link is created. A random-password action is available in the creator.

Send the password separately from the link. AnonPaste never receives the password and cannot recover it if it is lost.

An advisory cutoff

You can ask the official viewer to stop displaying a serverless paste after one hour, one day, seven days, or 30 days.

This is not secure expiry. The cutoff is carried inside the link and checked on the recipient’s device, so someone can bypass it by changing their clock, using another decoder, or keeping content they opened earlier. Use a standard paste when you need server-enforced expiry or burn after view.

Better sharing after creation

The success screen now lets you:

• copy the complete link
• copy a ready-made Markdown link
• copy a ready-made HTML link
• open the paste in a new tab
• start another serverless paste

It also explains when a URL shortener may help. A shortener must store the complete destination URL, including the embedded paste payload, so only use one you trust. Rels is recommended when the link fits its supported length.

Available from the dashboard

Serverless paste creation is available from the AnonPaste home page and from the dashboard. No account is required, and serverless pastes are not added to account paste lists because there is no server-side record to save.
