About
Pastefy is a web-based pastebin for sharing code snippets and text pastes. Users can create a paste, share it publicly, organize pastes into folders, and use client-side encryption for secret snippets.
The service also exposes an API for creating and retrieving pastes, and includes built-in tools for previewing rich file formats, converting data between common developer formats, and running small utility helpers without creating a paste first.
- Public paste sharing
- Folder-based organization
- Client-side encryption
- API access for pastes
- Rich file preview tools
- Format conversion utilities
- Developer helper tools
Free Tier Value
This free tier is a real, usable starter offering: it supports public paste creation, folders, client-side encryption for secret pastes, API/embed integration, public exploration, and built-in preview/convert/utility tools. There’s no pricing page or paid-plan ladder shown here, so the value has to be estimated conservatively; for a small developer, that’s roughly a couple of dollars a month in practical capability, with no clear sign that a credit card is required.
