Email Extractor
Free online email extractor — harvesting addresses from your own exports, logs and documents.
Extract email addresses from any text — instant, private, browser-based
Harvesting email addresses from large text blobs — exported contact list dumps, email thread exports, web-scraped business directory data, conference attendee lists, or CRM exports — is a common but tedious task when done manually. Manually scanning thousands of lines looking for @ symbols is error-prone and slow. ToolJiffy Email Extractor uses a comprehensive regex pattern to find every valid email address in any amount of pasted text, deduplicates the results, and delivers a clean exportable list — entirely in your browser.
What email address formats are recognized
ToolJiffy's email regex follows the RFC 5322 Internet Message Format specification, recognizing the full range of valid email address formats encountered in real-world data:
- Standard format:
[email protected]— the most common form - Subdomains:
[email protected]— multi-level TLDs and subdomains - Plus addressing:
[email protected]— Gmail, Outlook, and other providers' plus-tagging system - Hyphenated domains:
[email protected]— domains with hyphens - New TLDs:
[email protected]— all generic TLDs including .io, .ai, .app, .dev, .cloud - Numeric local parts:
[email protected]— numerically prefixed local parts
Automatic deduplication and count reporting
In large text dumps, the same email address often appears multiple times — in message headers, quoted reply chains, CC lists, and signature blocks. ToolJiffy automatically deduplicates extracted addresses using a JavaScript Set, ensuring each unique email appears exactly once in the output list. The tool reports both the total occurrence count and the unique count, so you can see how many times the most frequently occurring addresses appear.
Export formats for immediate use
- One per line: Plain newline-separated list for direct import into most email tools
- Comma-separated: For Gmail and Outlook contact group imports
- Semicolon-separated: For Microsoft Outlook bulk recipient fields
- CSV with index: Numbered CSV for spreadsheet analysis
Browser-native RFC 5322 regex email extraction engine
ToolJiffy applies the pattern /[a-zA-Z0-9._%+\-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.\-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,}/g globally against the input text using JavaScript's str.match() method. Results are deduplicated using new Set(matches) and sorted alphabetically by domain for organized output. All operations execute synchronously in browser memory with no network requests.
