Questions
Is ShareText free?
Yes. Sharing text, Markdown and code is free with no account, up to 25 shares a day and 500,000 characters each. A free account raises that to 100 a day and keeps shares up to 3 months.
Are my pastes public?
No. Shares are unlisted: there is no public feed, and we ask search engines not to index them. Anyone you give the link to can read an unprotected share.
Can I make a paste that never expires?
With Pro ($3/month or $20/year), shares can stay available for as long as you subscribe. Pro also adds custom URLs, passwords and burn after reading.
Can I share code with syntax highlighting?
Yes. Paste your code and ShareText detects the language and highlights it, with line numbers, in light and dark mode.
