Email Extractor

About Email extractor

The email extractor scans any block of text and lists every email address it finds, one per row. Paste in an exported inbox, a web page copy, a log file or a messy spreadsheet cell and get a clean list you can copy in one click. It is meant for people who need the addresses out of text, not a validator for whether a mailbox exists.

How to use it

1. Paste the source text into the Text to Extract Emails From box.
2. Click Extract Emails.
3. Check the heading, which reports how many addresses were found.
4. Use Copy All for the whole list, one address per line, or the small copy button on a single row.

When to use it

• Collecting contact addresses from a long email thread before moving them into a mailing tool.
• Pulling the addresses out of a pasted error log or support export to see who was affected.
• Cleaning a column of notes copied from a spreadsheet where addresses are mixed with names and comments.
• Auditing a page of copy for stray addresses that should not be published.

Questions about Email extractor

Are duplicate addresses removed?

Yes, the list shows each address once, in the order it first appears. One quirk to know: the headline count includes repeats, so it can be larger than the number of rows listed below it.

Are plus-tagged addresses such as jo+news@example.com kept whole?

Yes. A plus sign is allowed before the at sign, alongside letters, digits, dots, underscores, hyphens and percent signs, so the tag stays attached and the address comes back exactly as it was written in your text.

Does it cope with very long top-level domains?

Yes. The final part of the domain can be any run of two or more letters, so endings such as .photography or .international are returned in full instead of being cut short.

Does it check that an address actually works?

No. It only recognizes text shaped like an address. It never contacts a mail server, so a well-formed but nonexistent mailbox is listed just like a real one.
