Overview

Share Snippet Links that lets you share snippets publicly via a simple URL. Snippets AI supports rich content: code with syntax highlighting, embedded audio and video, and beautiful formatting-all accessible via a single shareable link. Perfect for sharing code snippets, prompts, tutorials, or multimedia content with anyone, whether they use Snippets AI or not. Traditional snippet sharing is clunky:
  • Copy-Paste: Formatting breaks, long snippets get messy
  • Screenshots: Not copyable, no syntax highlighting
  • Email Attachments: Hard to find later, version control issues
  • Generic Pastebins: No media support, no syntax options
Share Links solve all of this with one URL.

​
How It Works

​
Method 1: From Snippet Menu

  1. Open any snippet in Snippets AI
  2. Click Share button (or right-click → Share)
Once created, share the link anywhere:
  • Email: Open in email client
  • Slack/Discord: Paste into message
  • Social Media: Share on Twitter, LinkedIn
  • QR Code: Generate QR code for easy mobile access (if available)

​
What Recipients See

When someone opens your share link:
Beautiful Web View:
  • Clean, readable interface
  • Proper syntax highlighting
  • Copy button for easy copying
  • Download option
  • View on dark or light theme
No Account Required:
  • Recipients don’t need Snippets AI account
  • No login, no signup
  • Just open and view

​
Audio Attachments

Share snippets with audio:
  1. Create snippet with audio recording
  2. Recipients can play audio inline
  3. Perfect for voice prompts, instructions, explanations
Example Use Case: 
Share: "Sales Pitch Template"
- Text: Written script
- Audio: You reading the pitch for tone/emphasis
- Recipients hear exactly how to deliver

​
Video Attachments

Share snippets with video:
  1. Attach video to snippet (embed or upload)
  2. Generate share link
  3. Video plays inline on share page
  4. Great for tutorials, demos, walkthroughs
Example Use Case: 
Share: "React Component Tutorial"
- Text: Component code
- Video: Screen recording showing implementation
- Recipients see code + video explanation

​
Mixed Content

Combine text, audio, and video: 
Share: "Complete Feature Walkthrough"
- Text: Feature description and code
- Audio: Voice notes explaining tricky parts
- Video: Demo of feature in action
All viewable in one shareable page.

​
Syntax Highlighting Options

When sharing code, choose syntax highlighting:

​
Automatic Detection

Snippets AI auto-detects syntax from your snippet’s format: 
// Shared with JavaScript syntax
const fetchData = async () => {
	const response = await fetch('/api/data');
	return response.json();
};

​
Manual Override

Change syntax before sharing:
  1. Click “Share” → Advanced Options
  2. Select “Syntax” dropdown
  3. Choose from 50+ languages
  4. Generate link with chosen syntax
Supported Syntaxes:
  • JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java, Go, Rust
  • SQL, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB
  • HTML, CSS, JSON, YAML, XML
  • Markdown, Plain Text
  • And many more

​
Multiple Language Versions

Share same content with different syntax views: Example: API Request Share link 1: JavaScript version 
fetch('https://api.example.com/data');
Share link 2: Python version 
requests.get('https://api.example.com/data')
Share link 3: cURL version 
curl https://api.example.com/data
Create separate share links for each syntax.

​
Practical Use Cases

​

​
Security Considerations

​
What’s Safe to Share

✅ Safe:
  • Example code (non-production)
  • Tutorials and educational content
  • Public documentation
  • Marketing copy
  • General prompts
❌ Not Safe:
  • API keys or secrets
  • Production credentials
  • Personal information
  • Company confidential data
  • Private customer data
See API Reference for details.
