Verified Core Capabilities

Highlight any block of code inside the active editor:

Right-click the selection.
Click Share with Spext (or press Ctrl+Alt+S / Cmd+Alt+S).
Spext packages your code preserving indentation, language highlighting, and filename metadata.
Your share link is automatically copied to your clipboard, and a notification / sidebar card displays the 4-digit code and offline QR.

Right-click any file in the VS Code File Explorer and choose Share with Spext. Your file is uploaded securely with its original filename and byte structure preserved.

Select multiple files in Explorer using Ctrl (Windows/Linux) or Cmd (macOS), right-click any of the selected files, and choose Share Files with Spext. All selected files are bundled into one single Spext share with individual download links.

Right-click any folder in the Explorer to share its contents. Spext recursively collects source files while automatically skipping build directories (.git, node_modules, dist, build, bin, obj) and strictly excluding sensitive credential files (.env, secrets.json, *.pfx, *.snk, id_rsa).

Offline QR Code

Every share generates an offline QR code generated locally. Scan the QR with your smartphone camera to immediately view or download the snippet on mobile.

4-Digit Short Code

In addition to the full secure transfer URL, Spext provides a 4-digit short code (e.g. 4821). Anyone can visit spext.fun and enter this 4-digit code to access the transfer instantly.
