# Paste Bin
Share text or code via a shareable URL. No server, no database, no account. The content is compressed and encoded directly in the link — it never leaves your browser.
FAQ
How does this work without a server?
Your content is compressed using the browser's built-in gzip compression (CompressionStream API), then base64-encoded and stored in the URL fragment (the part after #). The URL fragment is never sent to the server — it lives entirely in the browser.
Is there a size limit?
Browsers and operating systems have URL length limits (typically 2,000–32,000 characters). After compression, most pastes under ~50KB of text encode fine. Very large content may not work in all environments.
Does the content expire?
No. As long as someone has the link, they can view the paste. There's no expiry, no database, no account needed.
Is my content private?
The content is not encrypted — it's just compressed and encoded. Anyone with the URL can read it. Don't share sensitive information this way.
