Instant free file sharing, text sharing, and real-time collaborative Live Pad. Zero accounts, zero tracking, end-to-end encrypted.
"I created Clip because I was tired of having to log into WhatsApp Web or cloud drives on college library and lab PCs every single time I needed to quickly transfer a code snippet, link, or document to myself or a classmate."
Clip solves this exact problem: a friction-free, lightweight web utility to create temporary, shareable links for text, markdown, and files in seconds - without leaving personal accounts signed in on public computers.
- 🚀 Zero Friction & No Sign-up: Open the site, paste your text or drop your files, get your link instantly. No account, email, or credentials required.
- ⚡ Real-Time Live Pad (
/live/:slug): Collaborative notepad and live file sharing room with instant WebSocket synchronization powered by Cloudflare Durable Objects (SQLite). Everything synchronizes live across devices as you type. - 🎬 Universal Media & Document Viewer: Full-screen theater viewer for both LivePad and URL pastes. Generous cinematic video player, uncompromised high-res image lightbox with 25%–500% zoom and pan, line-numbered syntax-highlighted code with search and copy, and embedded PDF / audio playback.
- 🗜️ Client-Side ZIP Archive Inspector: Click on any attached
.zipto explore its internal directories and files in real-time, search inside the archive, and extract/download individual files without downloading the full archive. - 🛡️ Admin Live Pad & Expiration Monitor: Dedicated admin section to track all active Live Pad rooms, view exact 24-hour rolling expiration countdowns and timestamps, monitor live connected peers, and terminate rooms.
- 📱 Phone Pair via QR Code: Connect your phone to any Live Pad room in one second by scanning a QR code with your camera.
- 📋 Direct Clipboard & Drag-and-Drop Sharing: Paste images or screenshots directly from your clipboard (Ctrl+V / Cmd+V) or drag and drop any file up to 25 MB.
- 🖥️ Zero-Scroll Viewport Layout: Desktop workspace dynamically adapts to 100% viewport height with no vertical page scroll. Seamlessly collapses into dedicated mobile tabs on narrow screens.
- 🎨 Pure Monochrome (Black & White) Aesthetics: Clean, distraction-free solid black (
#000000) and pure white theme with Lucide iconography and zero emojis. - 💻 Terminal / CLI Downloads: Fetch pastes and files straight from Linux, macOS, or Windows terminals using simple
curlcommands with optional password flags. - 📦 1-Command ZIP Download: Retrieve text (
<slug>.txt) and all attached files combined into a single ZIP archive, decrypted on-the-fly when encrypted. - 🕒 Custom Expiration Timers: Choose how long your link stays active:
10 Minutes,1 Hour,6 Hours(Default),1 Day,7 Days,30 Days, orPermanent(files cleanly auto-purge after 48h to optimize storage). - 🔒 Zero-Knowledge Client-Side Encryption: Secure text pastes and file uploads with browser-side PBKDF2 + AES-256-GCM encryption across creation, edits, and live rooms. The server never sees your password or plaintext data.
- 🔑 Secret Edit Code: Protect your links with a custom edit password to modify content, add/remove files, or delete early.
- 🔗 Custom & Retained Slugs: Pick your own readable URL slug (
clip.foo.ng/my-notes) or convert live rooms into permanent clips while preserving the same slug. - 📁 Rich Markdown & KaTeX Math: Full support for GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM), task lists, tables, and KaTeX mathematical typesetting (
$\LaTeX$ , matrices, piecewise functions, integrals). - 🔤 Developer Typography & Code Blocks: Crisp syntax highlighting for 40+ languages with JetBrains Mono / Fira Code fonts and 1-click code block Copy buttons.
