What is ghostbin?

GhostBin is a modern, blazing-fast, and private-first pastebin designed for self-hosting. Built with a lightweight Rust backend and a sleek React frontend, it provides a secure and highly customizable environment for sharing code snippets, text, and files.

Unlike traditional pastebins that store your data in plain text, GhostBin prioritizes your privacy with true End-to-End Encryption (E2EE). All pastes and attachments are encrypted locally using a secure passphrase before they ever leave your browser, ensuring that the server (and anyone with access to it) cannot read your data. Furthermore, GhostBin is entirely free of analytics and tracking cookies.

GhostBin is designed to be as beautiful as it is secure. It comes bundled with 18 premium themes (including popular developer favorites like Tokyo Night, Catppuccin, Dracula, and Gruvbox), and features top-tier syntax highlighting for over 50 programming languages powered by Shiki.

Key Features:

  • End-to-End Encryption (E2EE): Total privacy for your text and files.
  • File Attachments: Attach files to your pastes with configurable upload limits.
  • Syntax Highlighting: Accurate and beautiful code formatting for 50+ languages.
  • Extensive Theming: Choose from 18 dark and light themes, or let the UI adapt to your system preferences.
  • Secure Sharing: Share pastes instantly via unique 8-character codes.
  • Temporary Pastes: Support for auto-expiring pastes that delete themselves.
  • Progressive Web App (PWA): Install GhostBin directly to your desktop or mobile home screen for a native app experience.
