What is a Burnbag?

A burnbag is a secure container for files and messages you want to share. Each burnbag has its own unique link and encryption key, and can be set to "burn" (delete) after being accessed or after a specific time period.

System Requirements

Burnbag works on any modern browser that supports JavaScript and client-side encryption. For the best experience, we recommend:

  • Chrome (latest version)
  • Firefox (latest version)
  • Safari (latest version)
  • Edge (latest version)

Burnbag also works on mobile browsers, though the experience is optimized for desktop.
