The Modern Pastebin Alternative
Pastebin is useful for text. Pastes.io goes further: capture or upload images, annotate what matters, add text or logs, and share the complete story in one link.
Built for Speed
Tired of slow loading times? We are optimized for instant access with no bloat.
Privacy First
End-to-end encryption, unlisted pastes, and GDPR compliance baked in.
Images, Not Just Text
Capture a screen, take a photo, upload an image, and annotate it before you share.
Pastes.io treats images as a first-class way to communicate
Traditional paste services expect you to turn everything into text. Pastes.io lets you show the problem directly and add only the explanation it needs.
- Capture a browser tab, window, screen, or camera photo
- Upload an existing screenshot or image
- Add arrows, boxes, highlights, and text annotations
- Keep the image, written context, code, or error log together
