Timed expiry is predictable
Choose a lifetime when several people may need the link or the recipient may open it more than once before it expires.
Create a temporary paste
Share text or code for the time it is useful. Start with a one-day lifetime, choose another expiry, or use burn after read when one successful view is enough.

Burn after read is different
Burn after read removes the paste after its first successful retrieval. It is a one-view lifecycle, not a timer.
Temporary does not prevent copying
Expiry limits availability on AnonPaste. Anyone who can view content may still save or copy it before removal.
How to make a paste expire
Set the useful lifetime before you share.
Paste or type the temporary text, Markdown, or code.
Choose one day, one week, or burn after read from the lifetime control.
Create the paste and send the resulting link.
Temporary paste questions
What happens when a paste expires?
The paste is no longer available through AnonPaste after its configured expiry.
Is expiry the same as burn after read?
No. Timed expiry allows access until a deadline. Burn after read removes the paste after its first successful retrieval.
Can an expired paste be recovered?
Do not rely on recovery. Keep your own copy of anything you will need after the expiry.
