Question 1

How do I share a file that self-destructs?

Accepted Answer

Upload your file on temp.tw, set an expiry time (from 10 minutes to 30 days) or a maximum view count, and share the generated link. When the condition is met, the link stops working and the file is permanently deleted — not archived, actually gone.

Question 2

What is burn after reading?

Accepted Answer

Burn after reading means the link is deleted after a single view. Set max views to 1 and the moment someone opens the link, the file is immediately destroyed. Every visit counts, including yours — so don't open it yourself.

Question 3

Is an account required to use temp?

Accepted Answer

No. You can upload files and share links without creating an account. Accounts are completely optional and only exist if you want to track your uploads across sessions.

Question 4

What file types can I share with an expiry link?

Accepted Answer

You can share photos (JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP), videos (MP4, MOV, WebM), any file type (ZIP, PDF, audio, binaries), or write a self-destructing text note with Markdown support.

Question 5

How large can files be for temporary sharing?

Accepted Answer

Photos up to 50 MB, videos up to 500 MB, and other files up to 100 MB are supported on the free tier.
