Email Extractor

What Is the Email Extractor?

It finds every email address in a block of text and lists them, one per line or separated by commas. Duplicates are removed, addresses can be lowercased, sorted by domain or filtered to a single domain, and the list can be downloaded as a CSV file.

When It Saves Time

• Collecting the addresses from a long email thread to start a new group message.
• Pulling contacts out of a document, a spreadsheet export or page text.
• Cleaning a messy list where addresses are mixed with names and notes.

How to Use It

1. Paste the text. Addresses are found as you type.
2. Choose the output separator - semicolons suit Outlook's "To" field.
3. Optionally enter a domain, such as example.com, to keep only those addresses.
4. Copy the list or download it as CSV.

Example

From a short message that mentions asha.k@example.com twice, ben.lee@Example.org and support [at] example [dot] com, the extractor returns three addresses: asha.k@example.com, ben.lee@example.org and support@example.com. The duplicate is removed, capitals are lowercased, and the written-out "[at]" and "[dot]" form is recognised.

Use It Responsibly

Only contact people who have agreed to hear from you. In many countries - under the GDPR in Europe, the CAN-SPAM Act in the US and India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act - sending marketing email to collected addresses without consent can break the law.

Limitations

The tool reads addresses that are in your text; it does not search the web or check whether an address exists or accepts mail. Unusual but valid addresses, such as ones with quoted parts, may be missed. To check a domain's mail setup, use the SPF Checker; to pull out links instead, use the URL Extractor.
