What is JustPaste.it?

It is a text editor. It is very simple to use. The website looks like a word processor, since it has the same tools used to write and edit a text. You can write your own text on the same page or simply paste it from another web or word processor. Images, videos, or hyperlinks can be embedded to accompany or make the text more vivid and appealing. Once you finish working on notes, you can click on ‘Publish’ and you will be provided a link, which you can use to retrieve the text. The link can be emailed or sent to the social media. A final note, you can save the text you have created in your computer and downloaded it as PDF.
