Extract Emails

The Extract Emails tool scans any block of text and pulls out every string shaped like an email address, such as name@example.com. Paste a message, a contact list, a web page excerpt, or a log file, and the tool returns the addresses it finds so you can copy or download them. It runs entirely in your browser, so your pasted text never leaves your device.

How to Use the Extract Emails

1. Paste or type your text into the workspace textarea.
2. Click Process.
3. Read the matches in the Result panel, followed by a count line such as “— Found 4 email(s) —“.
4. Use Copy to put the result on your clipboard, or Download to save it as a file.
5. Click Clear to empty the workspace and start over.

Worked Example

Pasting this text and clicking Process:

“Hi team, contact Ana at ana.smith@example.com or Bob at bob_jones@company.org. Our old address sales@old-shop.net is closed. Reach me at ana.smith@example.com again.”

produces:

“ana.smith@example.com bob_jones@company.org sales@old-shop.net ana.smith@example.com — Found 4 email(s) —“

Notice the count is 4, not 3: ana.smith@example.com appears twice in the input, and the tool lists it twice. Pasting text with no addresses, such as “Hello world, no addresses here”, produces “No emails found — Found 0 email(s) —“.

Limitations

• Duplicates are not removed: an address that appears three times is listed three times, and you must deduplicate the list yourself if you need unique addresses.
• Matches are pattern-based, not validated: the tool does not check whether an address exists or can receive mail. A defunct address such as sales@old-shop.net is listed just like a live one.
• Only addresses in the pasted text are found; the tool cannot fetch a web page or read a file for you.
• Processing an empty workspace shows no result panel and no message, so an empty result can be hard to distinguish from a missed click.
• Output is a single space-separated line, not one address per line, so you may need to reformat it for a mailing list.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Extract Emails remove duplicate addresses?

No. Every occurrence is listed, so an address that appears twice is counted twice, as the worked example shows. Remove duplicates in a spreadsheet or text editor if you need a unique list.

Does it check whether an email address really exists?

No. It only matches the shape of an address. It does not send mail, check DNS records, or verify that a mailbox exists.

What happens if my text contains no email addresses?

The result reads “No emails found — Found 0 email(s) —“. If the workspace is completely empty, no result panel appears at all.

Is my pasted text uploaded anywhere?

No. The extraction runs in your browser, and the tool offers only Copy and Download for the result. Nothing is saved between sessions.
