Share a screenshot with a short link

Screenshots are one of the most common quick-share files. Upload the image, copy the link, and drop it into chat, email, or a bug ticket.

Before you share
  • Uploaded to FilePaste servers

  • Not end-to-end encrypted
  • Max 25 MB per share
  • Access windows: 1 hour, 1 day, 7 days, 30 days

Files and pasted text are limited to 25 MB. Links stop working after the access window you choose. Stored data is deleted when an expired link is next accessed. Learn more about retention.

What you need to know

Screenshots are one of the most common quick-share files. Upload the image, copy the link, and drop it into chat, email, or a bug ticket.

Best for

Bug reports, design review, receipts, browser issues, and setup instructions.

Why it works

A link keeps the conversation lighter than resending the same image in multiple threads.

What to know

Keep sensitive screenshots out unless you are comfortable sharing them by link.

Size limit

Large screenshots still need to fit within the 25 MB cap.

More detail

Why screenshots are a good fit

Screenshots are usually small enough to upload quickly, and they are often temporary by nature. Once the bug is fixed or the review is done, the link does not need to stay active forever.

This makes screenshot sharing a strong fit for expiring links. The sender gets a clean URL, and the recipient gets the image without asking which message had the attachment.
