## Maximum lengths for links
NoPaste is great for sharing code snippets on various platforms.
These are the maximum link lengths on some apps and browsers.
| App | Max length | Notes |
| -------- | ---------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Mastodon | None? | Not specified in the docs |
| Reddit | 10,000 | |
| Twitter | 4,088 | |
| Slack | 4,000 | |
| Discord | 4,000 | 4,000 is the whole message limit. Longer messages are converted into attachements |
| QR Code | 2,610 | |
| Bitly | 2,048 | |
| Browser | Max length | Notes |
| --------------- | ------------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| Google Chrome | (win) 32,779 (mac) 10,000 | Will not display, but larger links work |
| Firefox | >64,000 | |
| Microsoft IE 11 | 4,043 | Will not show more than 2,083 |
| Microsoft Edge | 2,083 | Anything over 2083 will fail |
| Android | 8,192 | |
| Safari | Lots | |
The safest limit to make sure your Paste link works everywhere seems to be 2,083.
