Copy on your iPhone. Get a file.
Add the SuperPaste shortcut once and everything you copy or share is one tap away from being a real file in Files. It runs entirely on your phone through Apple's Shortcuts app — nothing is uploaded, because there is nowhere to upload it to.
Safari downloads a small superpaste-ios.shortcut file. Open it and tap Add Shortcut — that's the install.
Set it up once
The shortcut appears anywhere iOS can share something. Add it once and it stays in your share sheet.
- 01
Add it once
Tap Add the shortcut. Safari downloads a small superpaste-ios.shortcut file — open it and tap Add Shortcut.
- 02
Share anything
Open the share sheet on a photo, a PDF, some text, a link — and pick “Save with SuperPaste”.
- 03
It's a file
Choose a folder in Files and the file lands there byte-for-byte — still on your phone.
Two ways to run it
From the share sheet
- 01Open the share sheet on anything — a photo, a page, a file.
- 02Scroll to “Save with SuperPaste” and tap it.
- 03Pick a folder in Files. Done.
Straight from the clipboard
- 01Copy something anywhere on your phone.
- 02Run the shortcut from the Shortcuts app, a widget, or your Home Screen.
- 03It grabs the clipboard and saves it as a file.
Want it higher in the share sheet? Scroll its action list to the bottom, tap Edit Actions, and add Save with SuperPaste to Favorites.
What the shortcut does
One action, no cleverness: it takes whatever you shared — or the clipboard, when you run it directly — and hands it to iOS's own Save File action.
share sheet or clipboard → Save File → Files
The whole thing is inspectable: after adding it, open the Shortcuts app and look inside. Like the SuperPaste site itself, it never talks to a server — the file goes from your hand to your Files and nowhere else.
Questions
Is anything uploaded?
No. The shortcut is a single Save File action inside Apple's Shortcuts app. Whatever you share is handed straight to Files on your phone — no SuperPaste server is involved, because there isn't one.
Why did Safari download a file instead of opening Shortcuts?
That's how signed shortcut files install. Open the downloaded superpaste-ios.shortcut file — tap it in Safari's Downloads list — and Shortcuts opens with an Add Shortcut button.
The shortcut isn't in my share sheet.
Scroll the share sheet's action list to the bottom and tap Edit Actions, then add it to Favorites and drag it near the top so it's always one tap away.
What happens when I share text or a link?
Text is written out as a text file; a link becomes a small file holding the URL. Images, PDFs, videos and other files are saved byte-for-byte, exactly as shared.
What do I need for it to work?
An iPhone or iPad on iOS 15 or later with Apple's built-in Shortcuts app. There is no SuperPaste app to install and no account to create.
On a computer instead? Paste it on the site.
