Email Extractor
The email extractor scans any text — an email thread, a scraped page, a log file, a pasted document — and returns every email address it finds as a clean, de-duplicated list. Matching happens in your browser, so the text is never uploaded.

- Copy the list or download it as a text file.

Common use cases
- Collecting the addresses from a long email thread to build a distribution list.
- Pulling contact addresses out of a document or a copied web page.
- Auditing a data export to see which domains appear in it.
- Extracting addresses from log output while debugging a mail problem.
Limitations and things to watch for
- Matching is pattern-based. It recognises the address formats that appear in practice, including plus-addressing, subdomains and long top-level domains, but it does not verify that a mailbox exists or that the domain resolves.
- Addresses deliberately obfuscated as "name at example dot com" are not matched, because that form is indistinguishable from ordinary prose.
- Trailing punctuation is trimmed, so an address at the end of a sentence is captured cleanly.
Frequently asked questions
Is the text I paste uploaded anywhere?
No. Extraction runs in your browser and nothing is transmitted. This matters here, because text containing email addresses is personal data.
Does it check whether the addresses are real?
No. It finds strings that match the shape of an email address. Confirming that a mailbox exists requires contacting the mail server, which no browser tool can do.
Can I get just the domains?
Yes. Turn on "Return only the domain part" to get a de-duplicated list of the domains instead of the full addresses.
May I use this to build a marketing list?
Extracting addresses is a technical operation; how you use them is governed by law. Under GDPR, the UK PECR, CAN-SPAM and similar regimes you generally need a lawful basis or consent before sending marketing email. Scraped addresses rarely qualify.
