- How large can a paste be?
- Each paste is limited to 20 KB of text. The editor shows a live counter so you can see how much space you have left.
- Do I need to register to use the service?
- No - FragBin works without accounts. Create a paste and share its link; no signup is required.
- What is an edit key and how do I use it?
- When you create a paste an edit key is generated; store it safely. The key allows editing and is presented to the server via the "key" query parameter.
- Can I protect a paste with a password?
- Yes - you can set a password when creating a paste. To view or download a password-protected paste you must provide the password; the raw endpoint also supports "password" query parameter.
- How is my data stored and is it private?
- The data is stored safely on our servers, if you create your paste as "Private", no one can find it without direct link. Only public pastes may be retrieved by other users. See the Privacy Policy for details.
- What content is allowed?
- Only lawful, respectful, text-based content is permitted. Do not post copyrighted, abusive, or illegal material. Any content that breaks our policies will be removed. Read the Acceptable Use Policy. The Acceptable Use Policy describes prohibited content.
- Does the site support code and Markdown?
- Yes - the editor supports Markdown and the viewer renders it with `remark-gfm`. Code blocks are syntax-highlighted using the configured highlighter.
- How long are pastes kept?
- Retention depends on configuration and storage limits. Pastes may expire if an expiration is set or be removed by policy or storage cleanup. There is no guaranteed indefinite storage but we do our best to keep your never-expiring paste for as long as possible.
- Is there a raw/plain-text endpoint?
- Yes - use `/api/pastes/raw/:id` to get the paste content as `text/plain`. If the paste is protected, include the password as required in a password query parameter.
- Can I share a paste via QR code?
- Yes - the paste view offers a QR code option that encodes the paste URL (including password query when appropriate). Use it to share links quickly.
- I believe a paste violates the rules or contains copyrighted content. What do I do?
- Please report the paste to us via email at fragbin@proton.me with the paste ID and details. We will review and take action as needed.
- How do I edit an existing paste?
- If you have the edit key you can open the paste in edit mode. The UI stores the edit key in session storage so you can edit within the same browser session; otherwise the server requires the "key" query parameter to edits.
- Is there a newsletter or updates list?
- Yes - you can subscribe on the newsletter page.
