PrivateBin is an open-source encrypted pastebin where text is encrypted and decrypted in the browser. Key features include:

  • Zero-knowledge server design for pasted content
  • Self-hosting support
  • Password-protected pastes
  • Expiration and burn-after-reading options
  • Optional discussions, markdown, syntax highlighting, and file uploads

Use PrivateBin when you want a transparent, self-hostable pastebin instead of relying on a generic public paste site. Choose a trusted, maintained HTTPS instance or host it yourself, because each instance still controls the web code your browser runs.
