Extracting email addresses from unstructured text is one of the most common data tasks for marketers, researchers, and anyone dealing with contact information.

Common Sources of Embedded Emails

Email addresses appear in business documents and PDFs, web page source code, email threads and chat logs, CRM exports and spreadsheets, and resume and cover letter text.

How to Extract Them

Paste any text into the Extract Emails tool above and click Run. The tool scans for all valid email patterns and returns a deduplicated list, one email per line. It handles standard formats, plus addresses with dots, hyphens, and underscores.

Building an Email Extraction Pipeline

For messy text, combine tools: start with Fix PDF Line Breaks to repair broken text, then Normalize Whitespace to clean spacing, then Extract Emails to pull the addresses, and finally Remove Duplicate Lines to deduplicate. Use the pipeline feature to chain these together — each tool's output flows into the next.

What This Tool Does NOT Do

This tool does not validate whether emails are deliverable, look up email addresses from names, or scrape websites. It only extracts email patterns that already exist in the pasted text.
