About Share Text
Create an expiring link to an encrypted text snippet. Your browser encrypts the text before the service stores it; the complete sharing link carries the key needed to read it.
Worked example: share a redacted configuration
Example input
APP_ENV=staging
API_URL=https://api.example.com
API_TOKEN=[removed]Expected result
Create Share → copy the complete generated link
Send the link privately to the intended recipient
Recipient opens the link → original three-line snippetUse fictional or redacted values for your first share. Choose an expiry, create the link and check it in another browser. If testing burn-after-read, use a disposable sample: reading it can consume the share before the intended recipient opens it.
Create and deliver a share
- Paste the text and select its language for highlighting.
- Choose an available expiry and, if appropriate, burn-after-read. Options and size limits depend on the access level shown in the tool.
- Create the share and copy the complete URL, including the fragment after #. Send it through a channel appropriate for the information.
- The recipient needs the complete URL to decrypt the text. A separately configured password may also be required when that option is used.
What is stored and what stays in the browser
- Encryption and decryption use AES-GCM in the browser. The service stores encrypted text and metadata needed for delivery, expiry and usage controls.
- The standard link places the decryption key after #. Browsers do not include that fragment in the HTTP request, but anyone who receives the complete link has access to the key.
- Website infrastructure can process connection logs and abuse-prevention signals. Encrypted sharing does not mean the entire website has no analytics or operational records.
Expiry and burn-after-read
- Choose a short expiry for temporary information. The tool displays the available durations before creation.
- Burn-after-read makes the server copy unavailable after the supported read flow consumes it. Test with disposable text before relying on the feature.
- Expiry cannot revoke a copy already saved, photographed or forwarded by a recipient. Keep your own copy if the text is needed later.
Troubleshoot a link that will not open
- Missing key: confirm that the link includes the full fragment after # and was not shortened or truncated by a messaging application.
- Expired or consumed share: ask the sender to create a new link. The old URL cannot restore unavailable content.
- Decryption failure: check that the link was copied intact. Avoid manually editing the share ID or the key.
- Text too large: use the character limit displayed in the tool. Split a long redacted log into meaningful sections instead of assuming a one-megabyte allowance.
Choose the right sharing method
- Use Share Text for temporary snippets and short handoffs. Use a repository for versioned source code, or an approved document system for ongoing collaboration.
- Remove tokens and personal information that the recipient does not need. For credential management, use an appropriate password manager and rotate credentials when access should end.
- Treat the complete URL as sensitive. Sending it publicly makes the content accessible to others who obtain that URL.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Share Text run entirely in my browser?
Encryption and decryption happen in your browser, but encrypted text and delivery metadata are stored by the service so the recipient can retrieve them.
What is the maximum text size?
Use the character counter and limit shown in the tool. Free and Plus access have different limits.
Can the recipient keep a copy after expiry?
Yes. Expiry and burn-after-read control access to the hosted share, not copies a recipient has already made.
Is an account required?
The basic sharing flow is available without an account. Some additional options require Plus access; the tool shows the applicable limits.
Can I recover a lost decryption key?
The normal sharing flow does not send the link key to our server. Keep the complete link securely; if it is lost, create a new share from your original text.
