About the Email Extractor
Finding email addresses by hand in a long document, an email thread or a data export is slow and easy to get wrong. This tool scans the text for anything shaped like an email address, such as name@example.com, and lists each one on its own line.
Addresses are lowercased and de-duplicated, so each person appears once, in the order they were first found. International addresses that use non-English letters are supported. The tool only looks at the text you provide. It does not visit websites or check whether an address actually exists.
How to use it
- Paste the text that contains email addresses.
- Click Extract Emails.
- Copy the list or download it as a text file.
Example
Contact Sales@Example.com or support@example.co.uk. CC: jane.doe+news@mail.example.org, sales@example.com

When to use it

Frequently asked questions
Does it verify that the addresses work?
No. It finds text that looks like an email address. It does not send email or check mail servers.
Why are the addresses in lowercase?
Email addresses are treated as case-insensitive in practice, so lowercasing makes it possible to remove duplicates reliably.
Can I use the list for marketing emails?
Only email people who have agreed to hear from you. Sending unsolicited bulk email breaks anti-spam laws in many countries, including Canada’s CASL and the US CAN-SPAM Act.
Is the text I enter kept private?
Yes. The Email Extractor runs entirely in your web browser, so your text is never uploaded to or stored on our servers. Like most free websites, TextForge shows ads from Google, which may use cookies. See our Privacy Policy for details.
