The Best Hastebin Alternative
Hastebin is gone. NoLogin gives you everything Hastebin offered and more - instant sharing, no login, custom page names, file uploads and expiry control. Free. No account needed.
What happened to Hastebin
Hastebin was a clean, minimal code sharing tool built by John Chmura and later acquired by Toptal. For years it was one of the most popular tools for sharing code snippets quickly - developers loved it because it was fast, had no ads, required no login and generated a clean short link.
In January 2025 Toptal archived Hastebin. The service is no longer available. Links that used to point to hastebin.com now return nothing. Years of shared snippets, documentation links, README references and bookmarks are now broken.
If you are here because you used Hastebin and are looking for something that works the same way, this page is for you.
What made Hastebin good
Before looking at alternatives it is worth understanding what made Hastebin worth using in the first place:
No login required
You opened the site, pasted your code and got a link. No account, no email, no verification.
Clean minimal interface
No ads, no clutter, no navigation getting in the way. Just a text editor and a save button.
Syntax highlighting
Code was displayed with proper highlighting depending on the language. Made shared snippets readable immediately.
Short links
hastebin.com/xyzabc. Short enough to share in a chat or a commit message without wrapping.
Fast
The site loaded instantly and saved instantly. No spinner, no processing screen.
Any good Hastebin alternative needs to match these qualities. The bar is not complicated but many tools fail to meet it.
Where most Hastebin alternatives fall short
Pastebin
Requires an account for most useful features, generates long URLs, has heavy ads on the free tier and has no file upload support.
GitHub Gist
Requires a GitHub account. Fast for developers who already use GitHub but completely unsuitable for quick anonymous sharing.
Rentry.co
Text only, no file uploads, not suitable for sharing anything beyond formatted text.
Ghostbin
Shut down in 2019. Still referenced across the web but no longer accessible.
Termbin
Terminal only. Not useful for anyone who wants a browser-based tool.
Self-hosted options like PrivateBin or Privatebin
Require technical setup and your own server. Not practical for most people who just need a quick link.
The problem with most Hastebin alternatives is that they either require login, generate ugly URLs, support only text, or need technical setup. None of them are as simple as Hastebin was.
What NoLogin offers as a Hastebin alternative
NoLogin matches everything Hastebin did well and adds features Hastebin never had.
No login required
Open a page, paste your code or text, share the link. No account, no email, no verification on either end.
Custom page names
Instead of a randomly generated string, you choose the link. Short, readable, easy to share in a chat or a commit message.
File uploads
Upload actual files alongside your text. Up to 5 files per page, up to 100MB each. Hastebin was text only. NoLogin handles code files, logs, configs, binaries and documents.
Expiry control
Set your content to automatically delete after 1 hour, 24 hours, 7 days or up to 30 days. Hastebin had no expiry control.
Edit lock
Make your page read-only so nobody can modify or delete your content after you share it.
Password protection
Restrict access to your page with a password. Hastebin had no privacy controls.
No ads
The interface is clean and fast. No banners, no popups.
Works on any device
Phone, laptop, lab computer, anything with a browser. No app required.
Side by side comparison
For developers specifically
Hastebin was used heavily by developers for sharing code in a hurry. NoLogin fits the same workflow.
Paste a function, a class, an error log or a full script. Share the link in a chat, a pull request comment, a commit message or a README. Your recipient opens it instantly without needing an account.
If you need to share an actual file - a .py, .json, .yaml, .log or anything else - upload it alongside your text on the same page. One link for everything.
Set edit lock so the content cannot be modified after you share it. Set an expiry so credentials or sensitive configs do not sit online indefinitely.
All of this without creating an account or paying for anything.
Broken Hastebin links
If you have documentation, READMEs, internal wikis or bookmarks that point to hastebin.com URLs, those links are now broken and cannot be recovered. The content is gone.
Going forward, links to nologin.in will not disappear because a company decided to archive the product. You control the expiry. Your content stays up exactly as long as you want it to.
Start sharing now
Type a page name at nologin.in and paste your code or text. No account needed. No login on either end. Your content is live in seconds.
If Hastebin worked for you, NoLogin will feel familiar - and give you the controls Hastebin never had.
