Can I publish HTML and not just markdown?

Yes — both are first-class. Markdown renders through a clean reader layout, and a full HTML document renders as its own page, inside a sandboxed frame that permits scripts. That is the main structural difference from a markdown pastebin: when your AI tool hands back a styled, self-contained page, you can publish the page itself rather than converting it down to text first.

Is there a way to make a page stop being readable?

Two ways, and they compose. Free pages expire seven days after publishing whether or not you do anything — that one costs nothing. Password protection, so the URL alone is not enough to read the page, is a paid feature. A permanent public paste is the right default for a wiki-style note and the wrong one for a document with a shelf life, which is usually what sends people looking for an alternative.

Do I still get to publish without making an account?

Yes. Anonymous publishing works the same way — paste, publish, copy the link. An account is what you add when you want to see your pages in one place, edit them later, or keep them past the seven-day window. The no-signup path is not a trial gate; it is the normal way to publish one page.

What does Rentry still do better?

Anonymous editing, mainly. Rentry hands you an edit code at publish time, so you can come back and change a paste months later while never having created an account or left an identity behind. It is also a genuinely minimal, fast markdown surface with a command-line workflow that its regulars like. If those are the reasons you use it, they are good reasons.

Rentry alternative with HTML, passwords and expiry

Rentry is an excellent markdown pastebin. The gaps show up when your content is HTML, when a page should expire, or when it should not be world-readable.

Paste markdown or HTML

Both render properly, and the link expires in seven days by itself on the free tier.

Rentry.co does one thing cleanly: paste markdown, get a short URL, edit it later with a code, no account anywhere in the flow. For plain notes that is hard to beat and there is no reason to move. Three things push people to look elsewhere. The first is format — an AI assistant that hands you a full HTML document with inline styles has given you something a markdown renderer will not display as intended. The second is lifetime — a paste stays up indefinitely, which is wrong for anything you only meant to share this week. The third is access: a Rentry URL is readable by anyone who has or guesses it, with no gate in front.

How sharing Rentry alternative works

1. Copy the output straight from your AI tool — the raw HTML or markdown, not a screenshot. There is no file to save and no app to install first.
2. Paste it into the box above. The preview renders it the way the recipient will see it, so you can confirm the formatting before you share.
3. Create the link and send it. Whoever you send it to opens a clean, read-only page in their browser — on a laptop or a phone — with nothing else from your chat attached.

A real example

Take a study group that shares weekly revision notes. Markdown-only and public is fine right up until the week someone pastes a practice exam the lecturer asked them not to circulate, and it sits at a permanent public URL with no way to make it lapse. Published here, the same note disappears after seven days on its own even on the free tier — nobody has to remember to delete it once revision week ends — and it never enters a search index in the meantime. If the group wants the stronger version, where the URL alone will not open the page, a password is available on a paid plan. The week the group wants to share a styled HTML formula sheet that Claude generated, that publishes as-is too, rendering with its own CSS instead of being flattened into markdown. What you give up is Rentry’s edit-code model: editing a page here means being signed in rather than holding a secret string, which is a real trade if anonymity is the point of using Rentry for you.
