Share Links & Text as Tiny 5-Character Codes
Convert any URL or snippet into a short code. Paste it in Instagram comments, YouTube Shorts, or chat — it won't look like a blocked link.
Share where links get blocked
PasteHub is a pastebin alternative built for comments, chats, and notes — anywhere a raw URL is ignored, held, or not clickable.
Share in three simple steps
PasteHub turns a link or text paste into a tiny code — then gets it back the moment someone enters it.
Paste a link or text
Open PasteHub, choose the Link or Text tab, and drop in a URL or any snippet you want to share.
Get a 5-character code
PasteHub generates a short code from letters and numbers. Only the code is unique — the same text can be pasted many times.
Share the code
Send the code, a comment-ready blurb, or a share link. Anyone who enters the code sees the original URL or text before opening it.
Why use PasteHub?
Built for quick handoffs — when a full URL, a pastebin link, or a wall of text is more friction than it's worth.
Short codes, not long URLs
Five characters travel better in chat, SMS, whiteboards, voice, and comments that block links.
Links and text in one place
Switch tabs to paste a URL or a snippet — retrieval works the same way. A pastebin alternative without a signup wall.
No account required
Create and retrieve pastes instantly. Share a code; anyone with it can open it.
Share links included
Every paste gets a link like /?code=cws33 so you can open it in one tap — without an automatic redirect.
Common uses
- Sharing a meeting URL without typing the whole thing
- Posting a destination in Instagram comments as a 5-character code
- Sharing a link under a YouTube Short where URLs are not clickable
- Pasting a config snippet, error log, or note for a teammate
Frequently Asked Questions
Choose the Link or Text tab, paste your URL or snippet, and tap Create Share. You’ll get a 5-character code plus a share link. Anyone can retrieve the original by entering the code.
