Documentation
Everything you need to know about using Binify.
Getting Started
Simply enter your text or code into the editor. Choose your desired expiration time or view limit, and click "Initialize Binify Paste". Your data is encrypted immediately.
Syntax Highlighting
Binify automatically detects many popular languages. You can also manually select your language from the dropdown to ensure perfect formatting and highlighting.
Zero-Knowledge Design
Binify follows the principle of Zero-Knowledge. The server is "blind" to your content. This is achieved by storing the decryption key in the URL fragment (the part after the #), which is never sent to our servers by your browser.
Self-Destruction (Burn)
When "Burn after reading" is enabled, the server deletes the encrypted data immediately after it is retrieved for the first time. This ensures that the secret exists only as long as it needs to be seen once.
Important Warning
If you lose the URL generated for your paste, the data is **permanently gone**. We have no way to recover it, reset your password, or provide the key.
