Free Email Extractor

Paste the page's URL into the tool above and press extract. Cleanlist fetches that single page from our server, scans the HTML it returns for every string shaped like an email address, collapses duplicates, and returns the list with a copy button and a CSV download. Nothing is installed and no browser extension is involved, so it works the same on a phone as on a laptop.

The URL you give it matters more than most people expect. Company home pages rarely publish addresses; contact, about, team, staff directory, press and imprint pages almost always do. If a scan of the home page comes back empty, try /contact or /about before assuming the site hides its addresses.

One page per run is the free scope. Crawling a whole domain, following every internal link across hundreds of pages, is a different and much heavier job that this tool does not do.

An email extractor is a tool that reads a body of content and pulls out every email address inside it. The content can be a live web page, in which case the tool fetches the page first, or text you already have, such as an exported thread, a spreadsheet column, or a block of HTML.

Underneath, an extractor is pattern matching. It looks for the shape of an address, a local part, an @, and a domain with a valid top-level suffix, then normalizes and de-duplicates what it finds. It makes no judgement about whether an address is current, monitored, or safe to email.

That is the distinction that costs people money. An extractor answers the question of what addresses are published on this page. An email verifier answers the separate question of whether a given address can actually receive mail.

In practice the two words describe the same job and are used interchangeably. Where a distinction is drawn, it is usually about scope.

Extractor. Pulls addresses out of content you point it at, one page or one paste at a time. That is what this tool is.

Scraper. Usually implies crawling, walking a site or a search result automatically across many pages and collecting addresses along the way.

The legal and ethical questions are identical either way, and so is the data quality problem: both return raw addresses that have not been verified. If you have seen both terms in a search result and wondered which one you need, either will do for a single page. Automated crawling at volume is where you start needing to think about a site's terms of use and its rate limits.

Yes, and this is one. There is no account, no email capture, and no credit card, on either mode.

Paste mode is free with no cap at all, because the scan runs in your own browser and never touches a server. URL mode calls a Cleanlist endpoint to fetch the page, so it is capped at 100 scans per IP per day to keep the endpoint from being used as an open proxy.

What free cannot do is tell you whether the addresses work. That takes DNS and mailbox checks, and the free email verifier covers the DNS layer at 25 checks per IP per day. For a whole extracted list, importing the CSV is a Starter feature from $79 a month, and a free account's 30 credits a month, no card, cover the contacts you resolve inside Cleanlist at one credit per verified email.

Yes. This tool runs on a web page, so nothing gets installed and nothing gains access to your browsing. Most email extractors are distributed as extensions because an extension can read the page after JavaScript has rendered it, which is a real advantage on modern sites. It is also why extensions ask for permission to read every page you visit.

The way to get that same reach here without installing anything is the paste mode. Open the page in your browser, let it render, select all, copy, and paste it in. The extractor then works on the fully rendered text rather than on the raw HTML the server sent.

Cleanlist does publish a Chrome extension, but its job is different: it pulls verified emails and direct-dial phone numbers for people on LinkedIn and Sales Navigator, not raw addresses off arbitrary pages.

Enter the URL. Paste the full address of the page you want scanned, most usefully a contact, about, team, or staff directory page.

Fetch. Cleanlist requests that page from our server and reads the HTML the site returns to a plain, anonymous request.

Scan. Every string shaped like an email address is matched, in visible text, in attributes, and inside mailto: link targets.

Dedupe. Identical addresses are collapsed to a single entry and normalized to lowercase, so a page that repeats one address in the header and the footer returns it once.

Group by domain. The results are summarized by domain, so you can see at a glance how many addresses belong to the company itself and how many are third parties.

Export. Copy the whole list in one click, or download it as a CSV that opens straight into a spreadsheet.

If a page you can see addresses on returns nothing, the cause is almost always rendering. Read the next section before you conclude the site is blocking you.

The second mode never leaves your browser. Paste a signature block, a forwarded thread, a column copied out of a spreadsheet, text lifted from a PDF, or the view-source of a page, and the same scan runs locally.

Plus-addressing. jane+news@acme.com is kept whole rather than truncated at the plus sign.

Subdomains. support@mail.eu.acme.org is matched in full, not cut back to the root domain.

Markup and punctuation. Addresses wrapped in tags, quotes, angle brackets, or trailing commas come back clean.

Volume. Paste the whole document at once. There is no per-day limit, because nothing is uploaded, logged, or stored.

Paste mode is the right choice in two situations: when the content is confidential and you do not want it leaving your machine, and when the page you care about only renders its addresses in the browser. In that second case, open the page, let it load, select all, copy, paste.

Server-rendered HTML: visible. Anything present in the markup a site returns to a plain request is found. That covers most contact pages, team directories, imprints, and footers.

mailto: links: visible. Addresses that appear only as a link target and never as readable text are still picked up.

JavaScript-rendered content: not visible. If a script injects the addresses after load, a plain fetch receives the empty shell and finds nothing. Single-page apps and several popular site builders behave exactly this way.

Pages behind a login: not visible. The fetch is anonymous, so anything requiring a session, a paywall, or an invite is out of reach.

Images and PDFs: not visible. An address published as a picture to defeat scrapers defeats this one too. There is no OCR step.

Obfuscated addresses: mostly visible. Addresses written as name [at] company [dot] com are rebuilt, and Cloudflare's email protection is decoded back to the real address. Addresses assembled piece by piece in JavaScript are not.

An empty result on a page where you can plainly see an address almost always means the page renders in the browser, sits behind a login, or publishes the address as a picture. The fix is the same every time: view the rendered page, copy the text, and use paste mode.

An extracted list is raw text, and raw text is the lowest-quality list you can put in a sender.

Role accounts. info@, sales@, hello@ and support@ are what companies publish, and they land in shared inboxes with the most aggressive filtering on the internet.

Stale addresses. A contact page can sit unedited for years after the named person left the company.

Source typos. A misspelled address in the HTML extracts perfectly and still bounces.

Deliberate traps. Some sites plant addresses in the markup that no human visitor would ever read, precisely so that anything mailing them identifies itself as a scraper.

Bounce rate is the number mailbox providers watch, and once yours climbs they route your mail to spam for every recipient rather than only the bad addresses. Verify before you send. The free email verifier checks syntax, DNS, and live MX records at 25 checks per IP per day, and the MX lookup tells you whether a whole domain can receive mail at all.

For a list, Cleanlist verifies across 25+ providers at 98% accuracy and enriches each row with a name, title, company, and direct-dial phone.
