AnonPaste vs Wormhole
Wormhole focuses on end-to-end encrypted file transfer. AnonPaste covers a broader type of share: a page containing text, code, context, and account-gated attachments.
The short version
Choose Wormhole when the job is privately sending files through a focused encrypted transfer. Choose AnonPaste when you want to share a page that can combine several kinds of content.

Where AnonPaste fits better
Mixed content
A share can lead with readable notes or code and add files for signed-in creators, rather than making every item a transfer.
More than delivery
The resulting page can provide structured context and remain useful as content in its own right.
Where Wormhole fits better
Focused encrypted transfer
Wormhole is purpose-built for privately moving files with end-to-end encryption at the centre of the workflow.
Files are the whole job
Its simpler transfer model is the clearer fit when recipients only need to receive the files.
How the workflows differ
Default focus
Wormhole starts with an encrypted file transfer. AnonPaste starts with content and lets the creator choose an encrypted mode when it fits.
Page or transfer
AnonPaste produces a page that can be read. Wormhole produces a focused route for receiving files.
Direct browser transfer
AnonPaste also has a separate no-account AnonTransfer tool for browser-to-browser transfer, but that is distinct from the paste workflow compared here.
