Email and Link Extractor

No. Extraction runs entirely in your browser with JavaScript. Pasted text and files you add are never sent to a server, and nothing is saved after you close the page.

Retina image names (logo@2x.png), versioned file names and similar strings look like email addresses but end in a file extension. The extractor skips them. With 'Skip placeholder addresses' on, it also drops sample addresses such as you@example.com or name@domain.com that appear in templates and forms.

Only if the people agreed to hear from you or you have another lawful basis. Anti-spam and privacy laws such as CAN-SPAM in the US, GDPR and PECR in the UK and EU, and CASL in Canada set rules on consent, identifying yourself and offering an unsubscribe link. Scraping addresses from websites and mailing them without permission breaks many of these rules and most email providers' terms.

It looks for international numbers that start with + (8 to 15 digits) and formatted local numbers with 10 to 15 digits, such as (555) 123-4567 or 020 7946 0958. To avoid false matches, it ignores unformatted digit runs, dates, IP addresses and short numbers. Numbers are de-duplicated by their digits, so two formats of the same number count once.

It reads the common forms name [at] domain [dot] com, name (at) domain (dot) com and HTML-encoded @ signs such as @. Free-form spellings like 'name at domain dot com' without brackets are left alone because they cause too many false matches in normal sentences.

Files of several megabytes work well in a modern browser; the tool reads up to 20 million characters at a time. Large files are kept out of the text box so the page stays responsive, and only the first 500 results are listed on screen, but copy and download always include every result.
