Three ways in

Paste it, drop it, or right-click it.

No new-document ceremony. However the text reaches you, it lands as a paste in a second.

  1. 1
    CtrlV

    Press Ctrl V anywhere

    On your pastes shelf, just paste. It becomes a new paste, already set to Text, Code or Markdown from what it looks like.
  2. 2
    drop

    Drop a file on the page

    Drag in a .md, .txt or code file and it opens as a paste, with the format and language picked from the file name.
  3. 3

    Right-click in Chrome

    With the extension, select text on any page and choose “Save selection to Aqvil pastes”. Line breaks stay where they were.

Sharing

Share it on your terms.

Every share link can have a password and an expiry date, and shows how many times it's been opened. Try it:

What you get

Everything a pastebin should do. Plus a pen.

  • Text, code or Markdown

    Code keeps its spacing and a language label. Markdown gets a live preview, side by side on wide screens.
  • Mark it up

    Highlight or underline in five colours with the Study pen, on your own pastes. Marks stay put when you come back.
  • Private by default

    Nobody sees a paste until you share it. Stop sharing and the link dies instantly.
  • Passwords and expiry

    A password for the link, and an expiry from 1 hour to 30 days, or never. Want a new link? One click, and the old one stops working.
  • Pin and colour

    Pin the pastes you reach for every day to the top, and colour-code the rest so they're easy to spot.
  • Download as a file

    Take any paste with you as a .txt, .md or a code file named after its language.

Questions

Pastebin FAQ

Is the Aqvil pastebin free?

Yes. Pastes are part of your free Aqvil account: create one, paste, and share. There's no paid tier for pastes.

Who can see my pastes?

Only you. Every paste is private until you turn on a share link, and you can stop sharing at any time, which turns the link off straight away.

Can I password-protect a paste link?

Yes. Choose "Only with a password" when you share, and set a password of at least 4 characters. We only keep a hash of it, so send it to people separately from the link.

Can a paste link expire?

Yes: never, 1 hour, 1 day, 7 days, 30 days. After it expires the link stops working, and you can share again with a fresh one.

Does it support code and Markdown?

Each paste is Text, Code or Markdown. Code keeps its formatting and a language label; Markdown has a preview, and a side-by-side view on wide screens.

How big can a paste be?

Up to 200,000 characters per paste, and up to 500 pastes per account.

Can people edit a paste I share?

No. Shared links are read-only. Your edits show up on the link as soon as they're saved.

Is there a browser extension?

Yes: Aqvil Pastes for Chrome lets you save selected text from any page with a right-click or Alt+Shift+S, jot a quick paste from the toolbar, and copy or share your pastes.

Your next paste is one Ctrl V away.

Create a free account and your pastebin is ready. Private by default, shareable when you want.
