How the Text Email Extractor Works
When to Use the Text Email Extractor
Use this page when the information is already readable as text and you want to extract email addresses from text without setting up software. Copy and paste an email conversation, meeting notes, a newsletter, a support ticket or the visible text of a web page. This email extractor from text works locally on the content you paste. It can also recognize some common forms of masked addresses, such as name [at] example [dot] com, but you should review the source when accuracy matters.
For a text file, you can paste its contents here or open it through the file control on the main email extractor. That main tool is also the right choice for PDF, Excel, Word, EML and MSG files: the browser reads their text before extracting addresses. A scanned image or PDF with no text layer needs OCR first. Public web pages can be fetched separately with your permission; those URL requests use this site's hosting.
If you need to extract emails from text online only once, the three steps above are faster than writing code. To extract email addresses from text in your own application, read the email regex guide. Pattern matching checks practical syntax; it cannot confirm that a mailbox exists or that you may contact its owner.

Text Email Extractor FAQ
How do I extract email addresses from text?
Paste text into the field above and click Extract Emails. The tool finds common address patterns, removes duplicates and lists the results. Copy the list or export it as CSV or TXT.
Is there a limit on how much text I can paste?
There is no fixed text field limit. Processing happens in your browser, so the practical limit depends on your device, browser and input size. For very large data, try smaller batches.
Does the text email extractor upload my data?
No. Pasted text is processed by JavaScript in your browser and is not sent to our server. If you separately choose a public URL request, that URL and page content pass briefly through our hosting.
Can I extract emails from a text file instead of pasting?
Yes. The main email extractor supports TXT and many other file types, including CSV, PDF, Word, Excel, EML and MSG. Local files are parsed in your browser.
Does it verify the extracted addresses?
It checks practical syntax, not whether a mailbox exists or can receive mail. Use the email list cleaner for duplicates and suspicious domains, then a dedicated verifier if you need mailbox checks.
