How to copy text between your phone and computer

1. Paste the text under Send text and choose Create transfer. You’ll get a 10-character code and a QR code.
2. On the other device, open this page and type the code under Receive text, then choose Get text. On a phone, you can scan the QR code with the camera instead.
3. Choose Copy text, then paste it wherever you need it.

Use it to get a link, an address, or a code snippet from your phone to your laptop, or the other way round, without emailing or texting it to yourself. It works in any browser on iPhone, Android, Windows, Mac, and Linux, and the two devices don’t need to be on the same Wi-Fi.

What can I send?

Plain text up to 100 KB, which is about 100,000 characters of English. Images and files aren’t supported.

Do I need to install anything or sign up?

No. It runs in your browser, so there’s no app to install and no account to create. Open the page on both devices and you’re ready.

Can I send text to someone else?

Yes. Give them the code or the link, and they can open the text on their own phone or computer. Anyone who has the code can read it until it expires, so only share it with the person you mean to send it to.

How long does the text stay online?

Ten minutes. After that it’s deleted from the server and the code stops working. To remove it sooner, choose Delete now on the device that sent it. Deleting can’t take back a copy someone has already received.

Is it private?

Your text is stored encrypted on our server while the code is active, but anyone with the code or link can read it, and it isn’t end-to-end encrypted. Don’t use it for passwords, keys, or other sensitive information. More about how transfers are stored.
